OK, this is sort of on topic..but today I had a couple of bad incidents on a fast drive with VERY tight turns (many hairpins). My Verde has ABS but the ABS function isn't working...which I'm in no rush to fix. The problem is, the front wheels lock up really quickly and makes trail braking nearly impossible. It seems that with Koniy Yellows and Shankle SS rear springs, less weight transfers to the front of the car, causing the front wheels to lock up prematurely. I can only see this problem getting worse as I'm ordering 27mm torsion bars tomorrow--which should cause less weight to transfer to the front tires under heavy braking. O, and I understand the concept of thresh-hold braking.. before anyone suggests that as a quick fix.

I've seen many cars with Wilwood or w/e brand brake bias valves fitted to their cars and that's the path I think I want to go on. The thing is, I'm not sure how the 3 Channel ABS system works entirely and I don't want to screw things up if I want to get ABS working for the rainy season. I also was told by a member of our race team at Cal Poly that putting a brake bias valve can cause premature fading as the valve creates a low pressure sytem after the valve, which allows the brake fluid to boil at a lower temperature.

I was wondering if AR4me or any other forum members have done this to their street or track cars and if there's anything i'm going to need to know? I want to get the brakes sorted before the driving school in September.

Thanks in advance.
