Brake Porportioning Valve?

[Phoenix]

Anyone installed one/running one? Major pain in the ass to install/tune? I have the AEM big brakes front and rear, and driving in this snow/rain with my 17" RSA's I've noticed that the rears lock up first...NOT a good situation. My 18" Nittos, however didn't behave this way. Come to think of it, my suspension is on full soft right now, and I have the squishy RSAs. Think that's the problem?

Grr...hating how it snows 13 months a year in Wisconsin...

Our brake bias valve splits it side to side, not front to rear, so you can't just throw a adjustable valve in there. You'd need to re-route the entire brake line system and espically with ABS it would be a royal pain in the ass, if it even worked.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking might be the case...most newer cars are that way :|

I guess I'll just play with my suspension loads and tire pressures...see if I can make it happy again :)

Thanks!

What does it mean it split side to side?

Oh just put your suspension to stiff so your car won't noise dive and that maybe how your rear locks up. (for example people spin out in the snow this way cuz of the weight transfer)

With the suspension on hard with the RSA's, my car handles like shit, and it bounces all over the place. Really ticks me off. The only way to control is to put the suspension on full soft, and then it's more manageable, but still dumb.

Waiting for the dry to put my 18's back on....grrr...Midwest.
