Neither would I. That proportioning valve in itself is a tricky
business. You can't just casually fit bigger, meaner brakes into the
back of a vehicle. If you do the rear wheels may lock right up while
the fronts are still only braking slightly. This can result in the car
swapping ends unexpectedly. Even with a proportioning valve installed
to prevent this, it might not be set right for a vehicle it wasn't
designed for.
