    Just curious, is anything like this built into any braking simulation in BeamNG? Apparently some systems are effectively rear biased at low braking input and more forward biased when braking hard.

    “Mopar did not use a fully adjustable brake bias setup like modern race cars. Instead, the system relied on a combination valve (often called the proportioning valve, metering valve, or distribution block) mounted near the master cylinder. This valve:

    • Includes a metering valve to delay pressure to the front discs slightly, allowing rear drums to engage first at low pedal effort.

    • Includes a proportioning valve that reduces hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes under hard braking. This prevents premature rear-wheel lockup, as front discs provide more stopping power and weight transfers forward during braking.

    Forum discussions on E-body restorations (e.g., ForABodiesOnly and Challenger-specific threads) commonly cite the factory bias as approximately 60% front / 40% rear (or close to it).
