Eric,
My old Fiat 124 Spider had an automatic proportioning valve. It was mounted
on the body and attached by a rod to the rear axle. The valve was supposed to
reduce rear braking efficiency as the body tilted forward under hard braking,
but I don't remember any evidence of it ever working. I do, however,
remember doing a 180 in a bad rain storm and heavy traffic. Now that was kinda
scary.
Safety fast!

I ran out of money before I could do anything fancy with a manual or
auto proportioning valve - a manual adjustment would be ideal, but only
if I had plenty of practice time to play with the brakes. Auto would be
ideal if it worked :-)
