I need these. I have 11.6 front rotors with the PBR calipers and now the rears can't keep up. The fronts go to lock first even under heave dive. Definately do want to stab the brakes in a corner, her @ss wants to come around.

your fronts should lock first. and as for the ass comin' round, that would be the result of too much brake in the rear. what you have will cause the car to plow through a turn.

Placing the plugs in the rear is NOT going to help your ass wagging attitude! (the car that is)

The plugs are not 'plugs' they are a bypass for the rear limit valve and will allow for FULL line pressure to the rear not a restricted one as you have now. If you want TRUE proportioning you'll need to do some serious plumbing work and fit a prop valve or two.

If this is a non ABS car my firm recommendation is that these plugs NOT be installed. There is no returning from the high pressure of the rear brakes in a turn and when the tail wags the dog it'll be too late. With the ABS this will be somewhat prevented and controllable.

What are you using for front tires? The 11.6 rotors and a good set of tires should give you a nosebleed before the fronts lock up. Or at least thats how they work on both my 92 and 95 with the "regular" 96 upgrade. And the tires on the 92 are 5 year old RS-As.

Brand new (90% tread), BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 225/55/16 on stock slicers. Yes the car has good working ABS.

It probably wouldn't hurt to tighten up the Konis a bit too.
