    Brake kit and proportioning valve

    Hi,

    I got a new Wilwood brake kit for the front. As far as I know, a Wilwood proportioning valve is a must to ensure brake balance, as recommended by Wilwood themselves. But they also say no need for the BPV if using brake kits on all wheels (front and back).
    I am willing to purchase a kit for the rear (also Wilwood).
    1- Do you think getting a BPV is still necessary to be on the safe side?
    2- If not, should the OEM stock BPV be removed when installing the full kit?
    3- Should I change the Master Cylinders as well?

    Thanks,

    You don't need to change anything. If you really feel you are locking up either front/back you can adjust with some different pads. So if you are locking up the front brakes then put some more aggressive pads on the rear and that should even things out. And no you definitely do not need to change out the master cylinder (you have only one)
