Default SJM prop valve

Those of you who have deleted your ABS with the SJM kit, where are you with the prop valve?
All the way open? Somewhere in the middle?

Thx

I don't remember where I had mine set, but it was somewhere in the middle.

A good way to see where yours needs to be set would be to find a wet parking lot (a big one without any people around), and have a spotter outside of the car watching your front and rear wheels from the side. Get up a fair amount of speed, and then aggressively apply the brakes - your spotter will be able to tell you if the fronts or rears locked first. Keep adjusting it until all four lock up at the same time.

Not the most scientific method, but it should work.

Thanks for the response, but my car is not a DD and rarely see's wet weather.
I was hoping to get some idea of where others had ended up, but of course I know there are lots of variables that could affect where people might have set their prop valve.

Too many variables to give you an exact setting to try.
