Ok, I know this has probably been discussed in many threads before. But, what is the reasoning for replacement of the Prop. valve with the "T" fitting for the rear brakes. Does the prop. valve cause more line pressure to the fronts or the rears when it is operating properly? I want to understand the engineering aspects of this modification.
I will be running "M" calipers with mythical billet hubs in the front and stock 914-4s in the rear. thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Also keep in mind that with much better gripping tires your chances of locking the brakes are reduced as the tires on the wheel rotating will grip better than the caliper can clamp onto the brake rotor.
Personally if you are locking the brakes you are doing something wrong or something is not setup right. Once the brakes lock you've lost traction which means you've lost control. All very bad. |
