Reply to "Brake pipe routing for rear pipes"

My car did NOT have a proportioning valve, front or rear.

It is without a doubt the  most important thing that I have done to my car.

In the rear a single brake line comes into a T and than routes to the right and left calipers.

Same in the front. I put the adjustable proportioning valve ahead of the T, thereby effecting both front calipers.

Where to put it was a simple decision although I knew that rear drive cars had them in the rear. In my case, the front brakes would lock up under hard braking. so I put it there. It works very well.  Add that to the softest brake pads that you can get from a race supplier and you will have great brakes.

I have not done it but I think that adding a residual valve to each caliper would be a big improvement.

Has anyone done that to a Mangusta?
