MCPV-1 master with disc/disc setup (metering valve question)

[miller54z]

If anyone else has any experience with metering valves, please let me know if removing a metering valve from a 4-wheel disc system may help give me a "higher" pedal, or in other words, less pedal travel before brake actuation takes place and the calipers start to engage the rotors. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Hey Matt,
Did you ever solve this? It sounds to me like you are experiencing the classic fixed-caliper "pad knock back" problem. It causes the pads to have to travel back to the disc and feels like your description. Wilwoods are known for this, especially with a stock rear end. C-clip eliminators help by reducing axle run out but for most people only a floating caliper or a full-floater rear end solves it.
