Renegade Hybrids suggests doing away with the rear proportioning valve for their LS1 V-8 conversion, and replacing it with a T fitting. I know in stock configuration this could increase the likelihood of rear lockup. My car has the stock MC, stock 914-4 rear brakes and 911 "M" calipers & vented rotors up front. It'll also have a bit of tire stagger, 205s in front and 225s in rear. Will a T fitting be OK with this setup? Thanks!

I'm thinking the finished car will weigh about 2300 lb., and the weight distribution shouldn't change all that dramatically, as there's 50-60 lb. of radiator and shrouding up front. Certainly, the V-8's weight is carried somewhat higher in the car, so I'll be curious to see how that affects handling. Going with Koni adjustables, 21-mm torsion bars, stock front anti-roll bar, and 200-lb. rear springs with adjustable perches (for starters!).
