probably. if you think about it, it makes sense. usually, 90% (or there-abouts) of the juice is going to the front brakes and only a little bit squeezes by the prop valve. you take away the prop valve restriction, and all the sudden you waste alot of that juice on the rear brakes. youve got to push so much farther to get the same amount of juice (pressure) you were pushing with the prop valve in there. just curious as to why you would not use the prop valve in the first place? your braking has to be horrendous at best, and is probably closer to lethal. shit, its better to drive with a prop valve thats stuck in the "almost closed" position than to just take it out... ben _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
