Removal of rear brake valve - advantages/disadvantages?
I'm trying to sus out what to do with my XR2 brakes.
I'm fitting Willwood 4 pots, 283mm Hi-Spec discs on the front, but leaving the rears as standard shoes.
Since I'm replacing the entire brake lines anyway, I'm stuck in terms of dumping the huge propotional valves that bolt onto the rear chassis leg.
Is this possible, i.e. just run the brake lines from the Master cylinder straight to the corresponding rear brake, or will that adjustable valves be required?
I was entending bringing the lines through the interior anyway, but not reay to shell out more money on adjustable valves, where as the original ones still work fine. It also means that I don't have to muck about setting the adjustable ones up either.
Please help me!

if correctly tuned (and in good condition) the std rear adjustable valves are better than nothing... even better would be a willwood in-car adjustable valve!
good luck!
