Tony Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The rear braking is adjusted automatically by the limiter valve in reply to load.... so if the car is lowered or the coil rate is changed from stock wouldn't the compensator need adjusting? if yes does anyone know how to measure this, and at what increment?

Mat Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 depending on car, the rear brake valve is affected by bed height, some models this can be adjusted, such as VW's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 depending on car, the rear brake valve is affected by bed height, some models this can be adjusted, such as VW's I am still struggling with this one!....... surely if the 'upper bed' is lower then the pressure is determined as higher, would this give the impression to the limiter valve the car has more body weight than actually exists, and subsequently 'over-activate' promoting 'Brake under-steer'... It would seem reasonable to adjust the position of the limiter valve if the car has been lowered.... but i have never seen this reported elsewhere.......... maybe another wim first?..........thoughts anyone?
