Product Overview

The Wilwood Adjustable Brake Proportioning Valve (Model 260-8419) is engineered for drivers who demand precise brake modulation and reliable performance. Crafted from high‑grade silver‑finished steel, this valve combines durability with a corrosion‑resistant exterior.

With a maximum operating pressure of 1000 psi and an adjustment range of 100‑1000 psi, it allows fine‑tuning of rear brake line pressure to achieve optimal front‑to‑rear balance. Weighing only 7.4 oz, the compact 5.91 × 7.87 × 3.94 in design fits easily into most brake systems.

Usage

This proportioning valve is ideal for street‑driven passenger cars, light trucks, and performance‑oriented builds where brake feel and stability are critical. Install it in the rear brake line to reduce rear brake pressure during hard stops, preventing wheel lock‑up and improving overall safety.
