[urq] Brake pressure regulation on urQ

[Mike Del Tergo]

L-A,
I am not sure I understand your question.  (are there anyways to change the 
bias without changing the BPV seems to be your point?)  I would guess not, 
but changing some of the components you mentioned will change the effects of 
that bias.  I removed my stock bias valve on my way to installing a manual 
valve.  (My fronts would also lock up fairly easily, not some much now with 
bigger tires!)  The valve I had chosen did not fit the Audi lines so I 
buttoned up my brake system, without the stock valve while I set out to get 
adapters etc.  Well I liked the action so much without the valve that I am 
still running it that way 5+ years later. (G60's front stock rears)
Needless to say swapping calipers will also change the net effects of your 
stock valve.  So you have quite a few options.  easiest is probably getting 
a manual valve and setting it as you like.

So this device is not dynamic at all, it cannot adjusts for difference in
weight repartition or anything else. No matter what, there is always X
percent of the brake pressure going to the rear wheels.

Now, how can I improve this repartition other than changing only rear brake
pads or front tires? You know, my car is prone to front wheel lockup and no
matter what I do (except flooring the brake pedal), rears won't lock.


Suggestions are welcome, as usual.
