Rear disc conversion 92-99
Ill start fresh.
I was told we (Gm) are usually set at an 80-20 split to avoid the rear coming around. This means our front rotors are under ALOT of load.
A slightly more even split would keep the rear end from spinning around and offer a little relief for the front rotors. Probably just enough to make them last longer. This will also give more of the stopping job to the rear making the car stop faster with a better squatting affect while on the binders.
I would not suggest anyone do this themselves. Get a pro to do it.
Once again just my 2 cents.

This is the product we will offer but I am sure the willwood site will suggest a site to buy from. If they don’t let me know and I can set you up.

The argument against proportioning valves. You decide what you want to do.

LOL
My reason for suggesting the proportioning valves is to compensate for our poor rear adjustment system that walks off and causes reduced use of the rear brakes. A valve under the hood is easier to reach. AND DANGEROUS! Ask any shop teacher and I am sure he will be glad to educate you in the matter.
