    So I remove it completly? Or do I dissamble it and take off the restrcictor isnide (if it has one) of it and bolt the body back in to those lines?

        Why don't you just make a hard line with female ends with the same overall length as the limiting valve? Or have a local shop make a braided line for you?
        Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

              All cars with front and rear disc brakes have it AFAIK.
              Removing it will add a bit of rear bias under high hydraulic pressure, but it will not fix oversized front pistons. Many suppliers found on eBay will sell front calipers with 1.75" pistons only because they are cheaper than 1.38" ones...

                This is good news though because that answers my bias issue that I've been having since I removed my failing ABS pump, front wheel lockup was way easier than I wanted. I have a Tilton adjustable proportioning valve that I bought when I removed the ABS but I've had no reason to install it because of the heavy front bias. I'd much rather have a more 50/50-ish bias with the option to reduce the rear than my inside front wheel flat-spotting three to four times a day on my daily commute... :-)
