I need to make a decision on what prop valve to run with my brakes on the XJ.
I've replaced the rear drums with Suzuki Sidekick calipers.
People that swap ZJ rear disks on XJs usually use the internal valve out of the ZJ prop valve assembly in their XJ prop valve assembly.
Supposedly this changes the bias from 50/50 (XJ) to 70/30 (ZJ).
I am installing WJ brakes in the front. Supposedly the prop valve internals out of the WJ is also swappable. I don't know if it is the same unit as in a ZJ.
I bought a Wilwood prop valve with a knob for changing the bias. Maybe I should install that? The OEM stuff is fixed position so there is no tuning though (easy for me). Also, no knob and screw mechanism to get fubar in winter salt.
Which would you do?
Has anyone taken the time to tune their brake balance with an adjustable unit? Did you just do lockup passes on a parking lot or back road to set the bias?
TIA
