Better safe than sorry in that situation to me means you don't push it to the limit in such corners time after time unless you know the brakes will take it. This is all part of determining if the braking system is adequate. It's quite possible to approach cooking your brakes in this kind of environment while still leaving yourself plenty of leeway. Done it many times, in many cars, over many years. You asked, I'm telling. Spend the money any way you like. I should probably ask the spring rate question in a different thread, though I believe it's been answered before. Brakes aren't always "bled or not bled". The last couple of %, esp. in the 914 setup, can offer little change in feel but a big change in fade resistance. The prop valve isn't the only problem. The low-mounted master cylinder seems to contribute to the difficulty in getting them bled completely, too. I've never actually had a problem with the OE prop valve myself. |
