GENUINE WILWOOD BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE

Wilwood Part No: 260-8419

1/8npt Ports

This is a valve used in Motorsport / modified vehicles to reduce the pressure to the rear brakes. When brake systems have been modified / uprated / mixed and matched or just that the car is being used on the track, it is common to find that the rear brakes lock up first when braking hard - with predictable results

This adjustable valve allows you to restore the brake balance and prevent rear lock up

Nearly all FWD race / track cars will require this valve. You can brake so much harder on a clean grippy track (even on road tyres), that the increased weight transfer to the front from harder braking will leave the rear wheels light and prone to locking up - most stock proportioning systems can't cope with track use

PROPORTIONING VALVES SHOULD BE FITTED WHEN:

Rear brakes have been changed / uprated / not matched to front brakes - kit cars etc

Rear discs have been fitted in place of drums - RS turbos, RWD Escorts etc

All FWD race / track cars

RWD cars with weak stock proportioning systems or with a lot of weight transfer.

Any vehicle when the rear brakes lock up before the fronts

Designed for Motorsport use. No instructions are included
