If you want to spend some time reading instead of writing, may i suggest you look at some of the discussions in these threads (and there are quite a few others if you can be bothered to use the search function):-

Now that's a stat I believe in!
Yes, and even the different valves stages alone make it impossible to give a single coefficient as it's not linear. And I don't see why it would be stupid to want a non linear bias ^^dapinky wrote:There is no simple coefficient of multiplication

How else would you propose to get 80% less braking on the rear? bicycle disks?isuzuowner wrote:A bias valve on a production car is typically a sign of someone in the engineering department not picking the right parts, discovering the error too late, and scrambling to fix that problem too close to the production date.

But this one isn't renowned for having your patience Clemo. I prefer the "bollox" approach so may just hit the button anyway..........
Tiny pistons would probably do the trick but it might not be standard off the shelf. And as I said, as we know the Elan has a non constant bias.Simon_P wrote:How else would you propose to get 80% less braking on the rear?isuzuowner wrote:A bias valve on a production car is typically a sign of someone in the engineering department not picking the right parts, discovering the error too late, and scrambling to fix that problem too close to the production date.

This is quite a light car with the light bits over the rear wheels and the heavy bits over the front wheels.
