Default Can anyone confirm the prop valve ratios for the various brake setups

I searched and found this:


3030 - 9.5" front / drum rear
3035 - 9.5" front / larger drum rear
3040 - 9.5 front / disc rear
4040 - 10.25" front / disc rear
4035 - 10.25" front / larger drum rear


I'm particularly interested in verifying this one:
3040 - 9.5 front / disc rear

The Del Sol Si is 1725
The front disc is the same size as the rear.

heh, that looks like the list I made up a while back.

the '95 SI came with the 3040 prop valve.
it also came with 9.5" front brakes and rear disk.
BUT the master cylinder makes just as much of a difference. Thats part I don't know off the top of my head.

when you push the pedal hard the brakes lock... they should.
do you mean that the front brakes lock before the rear or the rear brakes lock before the fronts?

No its not.

rear lockup before front = higher potential to spin the car
