Default Proportionaling Valve???

Do I need to install the proportionaling valve on my 1990 Accord LX?
I almost have the rear rotors installed.

Will I run into problems if I dont install PV?????

If I need it....do I need to take the PV from an EX Accord or lude, with the brake lines, or can I use the ones I have????

Thanks

you do not need a proprtioning valve unless you are racing the car on a road course

the brakes are already set to brake harder at the front

I tought, he should take the PV from an EX or some Accord with ABS, what you say is right, but maybe during a panic stop things won't work quite well, don't you think?

I swapped to rear discs and bigger front calipers and its not to the point where I need a pv. I am going to put in a new Mc for more pedal stiffness, but I doubt a pv will be needed. Maybe if you were doing competitive road racing, but I doubt your daily driver will see any action like that.

i would like to know how much pressure (PSI) does the rear drums need to work and how much the discs need to work, cuz that would be the thing that would really tell us if we need it or not.
