I am looking for some opinions on how to improve (if possible) my car
set up. It's a bit darty under threshold braking, most noticeable
when braking on a downhill such as turn 1 at Watkins Glen. The calipers
are not hanging or anything and I don't think I have any real mechanical
issues - its just that its hard for me to press braking zones when I don't
have confidence that the car will slow in a straight line.
I suspect I need to back off the rears with the proportioning valve,
front disks - rear drums. Anyone have any guidelines on setting the
proportioning valve? Would shock adjustment help any? Anything else I
should consider?

John-
Is it actually lack of brakes or a "darty" car? The bump steer on those ole
'Stangs was not the best and if you modified the a arm mounts ala Shelby, it
can become downright diabolical. Pop a spring out and check your bumpsteer, the
alternative will really give you religion at speed!
