I have a limiter valve on the front brakes to slow the initial hit mainly for tracks that dont have much spray on them since the weight bias is 54% on the rear.
There are a lot of variables involving pads, pedal ratio,pressure ,track condition & temp,weight and speed.[ and wether you want to make the car dissapear at the finish line!!]
Well said Tom,
I also use the B's on the rear and the E's on the front I change em 2 times a year as well as replacing the fluid. My Proportioning Valve is set at 65% to the rear.
