Rear brake balance is really important is slippery road conditions, or for best entry and exit speed on any track. When I upgraded my brakes with newer alfa parts (late spindles, etc.) and better pads, I added a rear brake limit valve that is adjustable, and accessible inside the car. With a little experience and some experimenting, i have found the settings that work well in various conditions.

For racing, I found that the fuel use (weight reduction way in the back!), tire heating, and varying track conditions made this a useful in-race adjustment. I know that all-out racers that use dual MC's (seperate front and rear circuits) with an adjustable balance bar do even better than the adjustable rear limit valves.

Larry: are you considering similar kits for rear brakes?
