the prop valves are a good part of your cause. i put rear discs on an 8v before and the same exact thing happened.

Subject: Rear wheels locking up....
And I don't know why...
Could have something to do with my screwy brake mix and match...
Rebuilt M/C for an 8v.
16v brakes front & Rear w/SSlines
stock 8v prop valves.
has gotten worse recently as I've gutted the car and removed the bumpers. (gonna race it)
Has anyone used a proportioning valve from like a 87Golf GTI (w/rear discs) my old GTI had a distrabution block on/near the axel so when the rear of the car lifted under braking the pressure to the rear disks was reduced not causing lockup... would this work for the roc? Also was going to relocate the battery to the rear to help w/ weight distrabution. BTW I'm running neuspeed sports (springs) if that makes a difference.
thanks.
