The Gibson is in its stock location, its just not as huge as the stock one..
I have to accomplish some other items before the full potenial of the Cat Back is obtained.

Some of which I haven't heard mention yet. but when it is , I will respond back... for right now we all have to wait..

 

I had a brainfart...I thought the pic was of the passengers side but now I realize it's the drivers side. BTW...You are way over due on some how-to's and pictures bro,

I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.

 

painting calipers and rotors green, but now looking into the cot of going 4 wheel disc...

 

I checked with a local tuner shop to see if they could help. They couldn't find any aftermarket dealers but, they did tell me who to talk to at the dealership. After name-dropping and using the good'ole boy network I got some prices. It will be about $1100. That will include new hubs, rotors, calibers, and a master cyclinder. There will be misc. expenses too, such as lines ect.

 

The proportioning valve would actually allow you to dial up the pressure to the back since drums are self actuating and require little pressure. Disk actually require more pressure. Depending on the difference between front and rear piston size and line length, sometimes you can just pull the stock proportioning valve and be right in the neighborhood. But you are right in that a good kit should include a proportioning valve for maximum tuning.

 

I have seen the ratio for brakes is 60% front 40% rear. this is from one of the brake company..

Hope it helps..

 

That's ideal on a well balanced car, but like I said on drums, they are self actuated. On some systems they are mabye 10-20 percent as far as line pressure. Once the pads start digging in it take very little to hold them there.

 

I painted mine green on my Black HHR, it is all part of the color scheme being used and I didn't want to do the same old red thing, and it looks good...A 4 wheel disc set-up would likely be an expense that I wouldn' t really need...
