Re: miSSed opportunity

Added a Wilwood adjustable brake pressure valve into the rear brake line so I could dial in the balance front to rear with this hybrid system. Didn't take long to get it perfect to where the front and rear will lock up evenly. Made a big difference. Before the rear were overpowering the front. Sure sign I need to get on that front brake upgrade.

I don't think the rear ABS works at all so I think I am going to delete the parts and clean up the plumbing when I put on the Corvette 4-wheel disc master cylinder I have for it. It is currently running a 1.25" bore Hydro-Boost application master cylinder and a disc/drum prop valve and it works great but I know it will work better with the right parts on it. The master cylinder on there in the pictures was one of the stepped bore versions from a vacuum booster application and it wasn't performing the way I knew it should with the parts on it so I made the switch to the straight bore Hydro-Boost application version. Night and day difference. It will get even better with the Corvette master cylinder with the 4-wheel disc fluid volume.

I have a Wilwood GM style adjustable proportioning valve on my stepside and my Camaro. I think I will put one on here too to make it a trifecta.

Have to dial it back quite a bit when I put the winter tires on. These Cooper RS3-S tires grip like they have claws on dry pavement. Ice or snow it won't even get out of my driveway with them on. They weren't kidding when they say summer only tread pattern.
