Reply to "Brake Upgrade: Done, but Bugs to Work Out"

Aloha Guys!

Let me address a few posts...

The fluid pressures were checked at all four corners, and with the proportioning valve in neutral (equal front/rear balance) it was pretty equal all the way around.

All the flex hoses are new stainless steel braided, and we've got good fluid flow

The proportioning valve is Wilwood's 260-11179 with brake light switch.

As far as the locking, at 45-50 MPH, under moderate pedal pressure (quick stop, not emergency), the RF locks immediately, and adding a bit more pressure locks the LF. The rears don't lock at all. Under normal driving conditions, using light pressure, the car stops W/O locking.

As for specs, the front calipers are Baer SS4 (4-piston) with 11" vented/drilled/slotted rotors. Rear has stock Girling calipers with Wilwood 11.75" rotors (from Scott at SACC Restorations). Pads are EBC Yellow Stuff (high performance street/strip).

I think Scott's post makes the most sense. I've Godzilla brakes in the front and gnats on the rear, making the balance off by a country mile.
