Re: Adjustable Proportioning Valves (rdssk8rcs1)
<------- using a Tilton Prop Valve
We can adjust brake bias from front to rear. Our car is so light on the rear end that we were locking up the rear and the car was 'darting' under hard braking even with a non-aggressive alignment setting. Once the prop valve was installed this cleared up the issue and the car started to brake phenomenally. BTW, it's an EG with Type R brakes full built race car - 230whp. We have to be able to stop it properly.
If i had to do it all over again I would re-use the same Tilton valve. It is a quality piece and most tend to use it in my neck of the woods.

Re: Adjustable Proportioning Valves (rallyeman)
i'm using a metric tilton, but the standard one would have probably been easier to make fittings/flares for .. when i do it again (which i have to because the stupid thing keeps jamming) i'll get a 2 channel ap-racing one but it's alot more expensive..
wilwood also makes one
