Hoping to get the opinions of some more experienced and knowledgeable guys in terms of brakes than I. I'll try to be as descriptive as I can.
So I am about to order some parts to finish up my braking system on my Supra, I was on Wilwood's website researching their adjustable proportioning valves and noticed them selling RPV's. I don't have much experience with them in anything but an OEM application so I was intrigued as to what it could fix in the aftermarket. I read up a bit and saw mainly people using them in situations where the master cylinder is below the horizontal plane of the brake calipers allowing fluid to essentially gravity bleed back into the master.
After thinking, reading and talking to a few friends running big brakes on their cars and hearing the common theme of "low pedal engagement" come up I came to the conclusion I may try a RPV as an answer? I have seen a few forum posts here and there of guys using them to help with pedal height and responsiveness.
I don't have the brakes installed yet so I can't really test it, but I'm running much larger front and rear brakes and would rather run an adjustable proportioning valve versus the stock one since it is discontinued from Toyota and I don't trust a 20+ something year old used brake related part.
Any opinions?
Do I just re-plumb the system as planned, see where the pedal feel is and then go from there?
Skip putting in an RPV and find a new booster/master setup that can solve the pedal engagement issue?
Am I taking the use of a RPV way out of context and principal?
