Reply to "Tasks Required if proportional valve taken out"

goodrocMember

In my understanding the reason for the OE proportioning valve is:

The Pantera OE rear Calipers are weak (compared to the "potential" braking on the rear due to the Pantera having 59% of its weight on the rear axle)

Therefore DeTomaso in their design limits the braking force of the front to "balance" the braking and to prevent the front wheels to "lock up" prematurely.

BTW the Brakes does not stop the Car, The Tires do!!

Willwood makes an excellent set of calipers for the rear and combined with their adjustable proportioning valve (then to limit rear braking force) they can be balanced to obtain maximum advantage of the powerful OE 4x38mm piston front calipers.
