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!

Thanks for the input, guys. I think softer rear springs to start will work well...it's nice that the rear springs are so easy to change. If it bottoms too easily, or pushes too much I'll definitely bump the rates.
Finally got a front corner back on the car, and mounted a wheel for the first time...15x7 ATS. I think this is a good ride height. Attached thumbnail(s) |
