9 bolt Brakes do not seem to hold
This is on an 89 rear with PBR's. New pads and Rotors. Brakes have been bleed several times. When car is in gear and rear end is up tires keep turning even if I put the brakes on. I cant get plates for my car cause they wont test it. Any ideas?

Stock rearend. Had it removed 2 years ago to paint it but that was all. What I'm thinking is that in gear , (900 rpm) due to the new motor configiration, the backs are having a hard time holding that but when the old motor was in there at a 550 RPM the brakes held. what ya think/>

This is a common complaint. In fact, I'm dealing with the same issue. I'm installing a new combo valve and master cylinder as part of my 1LE front brake upgrade; it will be interesting to see what kind of improvement I get in the rear brake bias. If I don't see improvement I'm installing a Wilwood adjustable prop valve.

I installed the Baer sport kit in front without changing anything else last year. Maybe thats the problem. Is it hard to install a new valve?

Just so you don't feel lonely, I have the same problem. I'm also installing 1LE fronts as soon as I have a free weekend. I asked the same question probably 8 months ago, and most people think it's the the proportioning valve. It's hard to imagine how that thing can go wrong though, I probably don't understand how they work though.

Good luck I think we have found the problem. The 900 rpm may make a bit of a difference but the brakes should still hold. Try lowering your idle and see if that will at least get you your ticket.
