For the 1st time in since I installed the inline regulator valve to control RF brake lock up, I had to make a slight adjustment of 1/3 of a turn and now all is well again.

Another year  61,000 views,  valve is working better than ever. May not be factory but sure did solve the problem.

Those were the sizes I recently had in mine with the exception or maybe 255/60/15 rears. My front was never the problem even though they are sagged a bit but Im pretty certain my car left the factory as a 396 and Im running a 350 so that loss of weight cancels out the loss. I put new spring in the rear but I have those 70s back there the PO installed. going 60 to the rears will lower it 1 to 1.5". Im just not sure the 255s will fit but I see others have done that. Tkx

I guess I was not clear:  I have run 235  /60 15s on the font and 235/70s on the rear of 10 years with zero issues. currently looking to go to all 60 series with possibly 2555/60s on the rear. Can anyone give me any advice about these sizes? and possibly your thoughts?

I used Valvoline VR1 in my Camaro but I have a bunch of cars so I switched to Penn Grade (Old Brad Penn) only to keep them all the same. Nothing wrong with the Valvoline VR1.

May 2022 51000 views later and the old Camaro brakes are still holding up perfectly.  In fact better than ever.  That adjustable valve was the best 30 bucks I ever sent.

My annual report, the added brake pressure valve is still working perfect.  It took a ton of labor and new parts to come up with the non stock idea but bottom line it works. 41k views hope its helped others .

It has now been 8 months and I have driven the 69 over the summer, fall and good winter days and  and spring! My single line pressure reducing valve is still working perfectly. Plus I see this thread has close to 23k views! I hope folks with similar problems learned something?

Mac was changed 3 times.  If you read previous posts you will see where I changed everything. But I appreciate the new  advice.  I will check that but as I stated it's much more due to irregular parts.
