Baer brake kit. Rears wore faster than fronts.

Got about 30k on a Baer kit front and back. Rears were converted from drum and while I have plenty of front pad left, the rears are worn. I didn't do anything with the combination valve when I installed it. Reading up it looks like I should have changed the metering valve. Do I need to buy a whole new combination valve or is there a way to modify what I have? If I have to buy a combination valve, I'm looking for recommendations on a source or part number.

Also thinking of going from the 12" to 13" rotors. Is Baer the only source for the brackets?
