Default Replacement Proportion Valve for and EG?

Anyone know if I can replace my proportion valve (95 Civic EX Coupe w/out ABS) with a better one, or one from a different car?

What reason do you have to replace it?

I don't think changing the prop. valve alone will improve your braking

I have an extra 3030 prop valve that I can sell for cheap. But I don't think an EX came with a 3030. They might have come with 3035.

No. 4040 valves were only found on certain cars. Not all cars with rear discs have a 4040 - the proportioning valve depends on both the front AND rear calipers/wheel cylinders.

By the way, it's not "xx/xx." The valves just say "xxxx" on them.

It depends on what brake setup you are running. If you are currently running the stock 16CL14VN calipers and 10.3" rotors up front with the ubiquitous drums in the rear, there is nothing better (that is non-adjustable) than the proportioning valve that your car already has.

OT: If I decide to go back to drums, do I have to change back from 40/40 to 30/30?

I've got the AEM Big Brake upgrade kit with the rear disk conversion. Also, my car occasionaly pulls to one side or the other and thought the proportion valve may be causing some problems. I just replaced my calipers last month, so I know it's not them.
