Re: brake upgrade

You can either change the entire valve or just replace the spring inside the stock valve you have now. Or, get an aftermarket adjustable valve that goes inline. There is a thread here called Cheap Proportioning Valve upgrade. Read through it. It has a lot of good info in regards to the spring change. It takes 5 minutes to change the spring. You will need to rebleed your brakes.
