The only info I can offer is the valve balances front/rear braking force. Do the rears lock up too soon vs the fronts?

if you went to rear disk with the GSR fronts then a 404 prop valve will make things right.
There are a lot of people that say it doesn't have to be relaced, but I noticed a difference.
You really should upgrade your master cylinder to get the right pedal feel also.

i heard of people running without the prop valve. Would that mean equal braking force to all 4?
