baer prop valve

I've got the baer pro kit up front and the track kit in back. I want to put in the 2000035 adjustable proportioning valve but I'm not sure about how it's installed. I believe it just goes in line with the rears below the factory valve. Can anyone verify that?

Well, I know the wilwood is meant to replace the stocker, but I think some are meant to just go inline to the rears, as Dean explained in this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...le+brake+valve

You get to keep the redundancy for safety, and your brake fault light will still work.

Just wondering if anyone has done one like this - I believe the valve I have is meant to go inline, but not sure. I might have to get on the horn with Baer.

Unless you gut the rear side of the factory combo/proportioning valve you would be wasting your time putting in an adjustable valve. I follow the thinking of keeping the factory idiot light operational. You need 100% pressure going to the adjustable valve then start adjusting it down.

There is another thread on here about using a 4th gen MC that has a low fluid warning switch built into it that I am looking into so I could completely remove the factory valve and still keep the idiot light functional. Course then I would put in the adjustable valve in the rear line and a line loc in the front. SOUNDS like the best of all worlds if it works.
