Wilwood brake upgrade unbalanced?
So I've had my wilwood brakes for a couple months now and I feel comfortable with them but lately I've noticed when I really stomp on them the passenger front always locks up before the drivers side even when I have a passenger. So is there anything I can do about this? I have the front to rear prop valve but side to side? Also, when I installed them I thoroughly bled all four corners so they should be good but I'm just not sure why that one side seems to be grabbing harder than the drivers side. Any ideas?

I'm just thinking out loud here, but could it be as simple as the driver's weight being on the driver's side? I have never had occasion to lock up a tire with a passenger, but their weight might balance things out. I should also specify that the corner-weighting that solved the problem on my car was ballasted to my weight.

Prop valves only cut braking…if you go adjustable and cut less…you are still stuck with the inherent limitations of the basic F/R balance. It's not unusual to be able to set the prop valve to full rear (little or no reduction) and still front-lock…this is where actual braking hardware clearly needs changing out if you want optimized braking and handling.
