    i ran cut up pads on rf, on dry slick i didnt have enough front brake, one night i turned the lf rotor completely purple, it looked like some one got after the surface with a torch, after that i went back to full pads on the rf and freed up entry a bit to compensate for the difference in the brakes, on a tacky track i still prefer to have the cut down rf pads, a shut off would most likely give me the best of both worlds, however i'm currently not allowed to have one

    i would bet that 2/3 of all lates and e-mod in my area run a rf shut off, some guys swear by em, a few guys swear about them.. all personal preference

    steveshawjr, i agree that most guys swearing about them are draggin their foot when they flip the switch, however i do not think that it always just a crutch, it is a driver adjustable tool that has an effect on the handling of the car, just like brake bias, when it comes to tunability in the car i vote the more the merrier... i just wish i could sneak a hydraulic weight jack in the lr lol

      The best is the lever proportioning valve that you can adjust the amount of RF. The issue with them is that on a rough track OR if you bang into something on the track the lever arm can move. We tried shortening the lever and changing the springs to increase the detent pressure but they all seemed to move exactly when you did not need them to.

        I think I'll try the hawk pads on the lf and go from there and fix my push i had a friend run the 3wheel setup and he did spin out alot...but it would setup so sweet if he got it right...We are not allowed any proportioning valve..
