This part will not work unless you re-tube your brake system. The reason for this is because the stock break system is configured corner-to-corner vs. front to back.

Corner to corner brake systems are required for redundancy enabling half the system to fail and still have front and rear brakes.

Proportioning valves like the ones wilwood sells are designed to work with front/back brakes systems, which are common on racecars.
