Default FastBrakes Users: Upgrade master cylinder and proportioning valve?

Last summer I purchased the 11-inch brake upgrade kit for a 1998 Civic DX from FastBrakes (link here). I'm in the middle of swapping a K20A2 into my car and while I have everything apart I'm wondering if I should put in a different master cylinder and/or swap out the proportioning valve. I'm assuming the FastBrakes kit is designed to use the DX valve, but I could be wrong. I figured this is the place people were most likely to use this kit as well.

Any information/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm running the 10.2" 4 piston kit on my 88 civic. Definitely can't use the smaller combination on it (unless you have incredibly strong legs) I also swapped the prop valve because I converted to rear disks.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I'm going to try to track down a master cylinder and email FastBrakes about the proportioning valve.

I have the 11" kit on my 90 CRX Si. Has stock booster, but EX master cylinder. Mainly a track car; no pedal issues after a year
