I still have the stock proportioning valve in the car.
I think the brakes favor the fronts a little too much. I smoke the fronts, never the rears. I'd like to put on some junk tires and see if I can get to the point where when I apply max brake pressure, the rears lock just after the fronts.

Most 914s I know about have replaced the valve with the "T".
Bias was added by running agressive pads up front and the next lowest rate pad in the rear. Have run this combination with 2 914s without incident. If you want to play then add an adjustable valve. Not hard, but you have to make up new brake lines to connect it. Ken |
