I'm having a hard time driving my car in bad weather and need options. One thing I will not do is get another car.
In dry weather what do you want more brake power going to? What about bad weather like snow/ice. I'm having problems right now where if I'm in snow and I put my brake pedal half way (normal braking force) my rear tires start to spin at a cold 1000rpm idle (330hp 380 ft-lb crate motor). I have drum rear and I know it's crap but it's gotta work for a few more years.
Anybody have any ideas on what I should do/try. I was thinking about getting new pads but right now they have at least a few more years or another 10k miles on them. A prop valve would alow me to adjust more pressure to the rear or front so I could adjust the braking in different conditions yes/no?
Any info would be great since I'm FAR from the brake knowledge. All I know is that I hate driving my car in the snow.

I know what you're talking about, as I used to have that problem pulling into a gravelly parking lot. The car would just keep going and push the car in spite of the front brakes. I got around that by using the parking brake to put the "woah" on the rear. Maybe that'll tide you over until you get the response you're looking for.

you don't want an adjustable proportioning valve. They're only for racing and are dangerous. You mount it somewhere that you can reach the **** from the driver's seat and it allows the driver to adjust how much pressure goes to the front and rear brakes. Not for the street at all because there are so many different road conditions and you'll end up with locking rear brakes causing a spin.

Have you tried adjusting the rear brakes? While traveling in reverse slam on the brakes and that sets the shoes. You can also do this manually. Take the rim off and adjust the tensioner on the backside until the drum JUST contacts the shoes.
