    I have an Aerospace rear disc setup that should arrive Wednesday...you guys that run rear discs...did you have to install a proportioning valve to adjust the bias to the rears? Or did you just install them using the factory prop valve?

    Thanks...

    I installed a valve after the factory valve , but you could probably run a four wheel disc brake factory one .that is if you can find one

    I have a Wilwood prop valve/dist block and backup lights all in one unit. Seems to work very well. Haven't had to adjust the rear bias yet, worked great right out of the box.

    Cool...thanks guys. I guess I'm just going to try it straight up at first and see how it goes...brakes didn't arrive until late today, so maybe I can pick them up tomorrow and start putting things back together over the weekend.
