-> I'm no expert, but it seems to me if you were going to try to do some
-> brake design optimization (by trial and error) you would first set
-> your front/back brake balance to provide the best braking response

 Problem with that is, optimum front/rear balance varies depending on
*rate* of deceleration, speed (aerodynamic load), etc.  Too much rear
brake causes handling problems under deceleration, so most race cars are
valved shy of max at the back.

 The proper solution is to scavenge a Bosch ABS system out of a C4
Corvette.  I have one ready to go into Tyrannosaurus RX.
