To my knowledge there is no proportioning valve on my 323ti (I could not find it in the 'ETK')
.. and yes, it is beacuse of track use I am looking for more stopping power (or more correctly ways to handle the temperature). The rear pads (Ferodo DS2500) got fried on my last track day event, and delaminated. Also my front pads (DS2500) went away.
My calculations show that my 323ti has a stock bias setup by 72.6% (static). By going for the AP's with stock rear the bias goes up to 77%, which I think is too much. With AP up front and the proposed vented disks rear, my calculations reads 72.3% (very close to stock bias).
