Great find - thanks for sharing. Please let us know how things work out if you replace with an adjustable prop valve.

Have you considered adjusting bias with different pad compounds f/r?

Already did that to start. The main problem is pedal feel. It is too touchy.

You could also reduce the brake booster assist with a vacuum regulator.

the dual master set-up really changes the pedal feel. It's hard to drive the boosted brake systems in other cars on track now. Cockpit adjustable knob for bias, and a stand alone BMW M3 ABS unit is optional depending on track surface.

Eric, are you willing to share details on your set-up for others to do a DIY and reproduce what you have done?
