Hey guys, I just got my d16z6 swapped round nose on the road. I will be upgrading the brakes from the current 7.5 inch setup to the 4 pot metro turbo brake kit from minispares. I am running the willwood pedal box kit from minitech. I believe the master cylinders are the same bore size for front and rear. The rear slave cylinders are 3/4" bore. Do I need some sort of brake proportioning valve? Or is the balance bar on the pedal box acceptable? I believe the original proportioning valve is still mounted on the rear subframe. Some people have said to bin that and throw in a standard T-connection. Would like to hear you guy's opinions.

Not in your topic but want to ask how you like your swap? Power? Drivability?
You have a build thread?

I am using KAD front and rear brakes with their dual master cylinder assembly. I have ditched the proportioning valve and put in a tee in the back as the new master cylinders have a proportion bar between them.  

 

 

Check this PDF. It is off Minitecs website. There is a chart that shows the appropriate Master cylinder size to the brake caliper size.
