Adding proportioning valve to brakes?
Car: '74 911 with fairly new MC, stainless lines, rebuilt "M" calipers, Mintex pads in front, Hawks in rear, 15x7's & 8's, super blue.
I have been having trouble with the front brakes locking up under reasonably hard braking, mostly during autocross events. I tried going with more aggressive pads in the rear, but after one autox event, I don't notice a difference. I have the front apart right now rebuilding the calipers which needed it and reinstalling with new rotors.
My next thought was to install a Tilton or Wilwood brake proportioning valve to limit the feed to the front. If this has been done before, I would appreciate feedback as well as part numbers used. (I noticed they come with different sized 'an' fittings).
Thoughts? Thanks in advance. -John
