Well crap, I missed that one tiny part on there that says it's from m-tuned, sorry. Any feedback from those who have a thousand miles or so logged with them installed? How much bias will I need if I already upgraded to 1.8 brakes all around?

I always wondered how the proportioning valves worked. Basically its a pin that gets threaded into the brake fluid passage, but doesn't the pressure end up equalling out after some time after the brake was pressed?

I don't have 1k miles on yet. Just installed the M-tuned 11' brackets last week. In 3 days I put 400 street miles and 2 hours of track time on them though.
Something is allowing the caliper bracket to move in relation to the rotor. One of the nubs in the caliper bracket moves slightly to contact the inside face of the rotor. I should have taken everything back off and filed that nub down farther than I did 1st time. Lazy though and the track day took care of that for me. I can't see the little groove in the rotor since they are on the inside. Out of sight, out of mind.
I've got a 94 so I've already got the 1.8 system. I'm running carbotech xp10's up front and xp8's in the rear. Stock calipers, stock prop valve, stock brake lines, stock brake cylinder. Balance at the track was excellent. No problems. Was expecting too much front bias but was pleasantly suprised. An SCCA nationals driver drove it for a few laps and thought the brakes were set up great. I didn't tell him about the corrado rotor mod before hand.

I believe that is the percentage that the rear is of the front. So the higher the number, the more REAR biased the prop valve.
From this it looks like the 1.6L cars have the most front biased prop valve. Thus Brain's comment that 1.6L cars will need a (Wilwood) prop valve or stickier pads in the rear.
I really wanna do this mod, but don't want to source 15" wheels.
btw, zoomin, I'm going to come out and say it:
you're sofa king we todd it
EDIT: Brain beat me to it damnit.
And don't EVER ******* quote yourself in a thread when you CAN'T ******* TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE RESPONSES acting like no one's paying attention to you when you don't even know which direction the wind is blowing fuckface.
