Well, after all the brake balance posts lately, I've been doing a lot of reasearch, thinking, and driving. I've determined that I think the Contour is too front-biased. I know, it's for safety. I don't give a [censored]. I want better stopping, so I'm willing to mess around and test the braking, seeing if I can get the proportioning valve to spit out pressures a little bit closer to the actual weight balance. Is this possible? Is there any simple way to adjust the proportioning valve on this car?

Also, I'm not interested in brake upgrades. I'm still not sure if I want to keep my Contour as my primary racecar, so for now the only thing on the horizon is a set of SS hoses and another flush. I can hit the ABS from 100 to 0 a few times before I need to let them cool (and bleed/flush ), and from 60-70 all day long. My Fuzions and suspension are the weak links in this chain.
