And the saga continues...

We pulled the stock shuttle and proportioning valves, blew out all the lines again, checked the Master and Booster (which appear to be working perfectly) and fitted the Wilwood proportioning valve. The Reader's Digest Condensed version: Even with the proportioning valve set fully to the rear (or anywhere for that matter), the fronts lock under moderate pressure (45 - 50 MPH, RF first then LF).

I'm wondering if the imbalance in front/rear caliper size is the culprit (the proportioning valve can't shift enough fluid pressure aft)?

Has anyone else had this issue with the Baer conversion?

On the plus side, I re-coated/bundled the pad warning light wires, and that fixed the idiot light.
