The kit comes with a non-adjustable propotioning valve that mounts to the M/C itself. They told me this will be all I need. I'm running 993 brakes by the way. Will it do the trick? We shall see.

I'm not trying to be stubborn. Maybe the Bug does need to be upgraded. For now, the 944 system is fine, the fronts bite real fine! But I do wish the rears have a bit more power in them...
The rears are working in the sense as in when I go bleed the brakes, I can see that they do bite and grip, just not as hard as I wish would....
Considering that the stock Bug MC is 19mm all round. And the rears are not biting enough. Does that mean I need to get a MC with a bigger rear circuit? Doesn't make much sense as in I don't think anyone sells a MC with bigger rear circuit, unless circuits are universal (one big, one small but doesn't matter which you use for front or rear)
The way I see it, the bias valve should go on the front as the rear calipers have smaller pistons to begin with and if there's not enough brake force back there, there ain't nothing we can do but look forward....
Sprint.
