As for the new stock proportioning valve, does that mean that it will not work properly with the wilwood MC and calipers? I wonder if wilwood sells a valve that does not require any adjustments because the car will not be used for autocrossing or at a track.
One more point, I recently replaced the rear brake line from right stuff detailing. It is a 1/4" line, which is basically a stock replacement. However, wilwood recommends a 3/16" line.

You might have misunderstood why I posted what I did.... In a nutshell -- the stock type prop valves are designed to work with pretty much stock tire and brake sizes... I didn't say it wouldn't work with the master cylinder... I was giving you some information you could use so that you might question the use of a stock prop valve over a adjustable prop valve if you're NOT running stock or nearly stock tires etc. This is a safety issue.... you're brakes and understanding them should be your most important concern. Spinning at freeway speeds is nobodies idea of a good time. The brake bias of your system is critical to work properly when you'll need it the most... a panic stop.
