Re: Inital adjustment on willwood adj prop valve on 4 wheel disc brakes??
Go out and bed in the pads pretty heavily to start with, so the rotors have a transfer layer established and the pads bite like they should, then do some panic stops to see if the back locks up first or not. Adjust it until the back locks up just after the front.
Note that some pads perform noticeably different when hot, so do your testing after the brakes have cooled back down to a normal temp between panic stop tests to simulate the most normal circumstances. Next time you change pads you'll want to bed those in and recheck that the new pads have the same f/r balance and make adjustments if necessary. Different pads have different coefficient of friction.
