Just a thought I had that I posted in another thread. It could be total BS though, I really don't know, just kicking around an idea.


OK, its been in my head stewing for a bit, but I think I know why I am against a lower compound in the rear and why a proportioning valve won't work.

The car has EFBD. it senses each wheel and applies more brake as needed. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I do think, even with a proportioning valve, it will still direct more braking to the rear or front as needed, so with a valve, you may actually decrease brake performance, as it will be reacting to the lower or higher rear brake pressure.

Even with different pads, its still reacting, which is why I use the same compound all around.
