Default proportioning valve

I have a 96 lx with drums and NO abs. I swapped over my whole rear subframe for the EX disc brakes that had ABS, and im wondering if i should swich over my proportioning valve as well?

However, i was told that there are 2 seperate valves. is that true? or would a 40/40 valve work?

I'm not 100% sure, but i believe that you would need the proportioning valve from the EX/SE. How does the brake feel?

I took my abs out of my 93 ex accord that had rear disc and put a prop valve in that was on a 92 lx with rear drums. It said 30/30 on it and it works great.

the brakes were hard for a long time.. but within the last week they've gotten softer.

i am able to easily lock up the fronts, but never have locked the rears.

I have brembo cross drilled with hawk pads all around, with stainless steel flex lines. Everything is stock from LX drums.

The prob valve from my doner car had it in the ABS thing.
