Do you have to do anything with the master brake cylinder to change the ratio of fluid for front/rear to get equal distribution while braking? Just curious… ---

:word: yeah, i was wondering if the stock prop valve worked fine for that very good mod, i love it when you can piece together factory stuff that doesn’t cost a mint that works better than the stock stuff ah god i just can’t keep it in my pants :tup: ---

Just curious… NO…not really…the front does have a little more Bias…but not enought to make a huge difference…breaking in the pads didnt activate the abs at all but thats from a 35 mph hard stop…the real test will come this week end at auto-x… ---
