rear disc brake conversion (updated)
 
I did a rear disk brake conversion a little while ago, but it seems like my rear brakes are doing most of the braking.
kit 94 integra rear disk brakes, 40/40 proportional valve. brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors, axxis pads.
I drive fast and brake hard, but my rear get worn down really fast, I've changed rotors twice already. never changed the fronts.
I am thinking of going back to the stock proportional valve. what ya'll think?

that has nothing to do with the brake power distribution. I think I am gonna switch back to stock proportion valve

under hard acceleration then braking quickly or braking quickly, doesn't that transfer the weight to the rear?

are your calipers seized?
if they dont let off enough your aggressive pad may be chewing up your rotor

they are not siezed, met some one who said he had the problem. it was fixed after put in a stock proportion valve and bigger master cylinder

Yeah I know it doesn't. I was referring to the posts about being a baller O0

Switching back to another proportion valve might solve it but aren't you supposed to use the 40/40 for rear discs?

thinking about it I think the rear brakes are too small to have the same same braking duties as the front, so I think the 40/40 is a bad idea, maybe 20/40. if that exist
