Best place to install a proportioning valve for the brakes?

Hey guys, I have just added a set of rear disk brakes to my car and it looks like I will need an adjustable proportioning valve and I just picked one up from Wilwood.

Where do you suggest I mount it?
Where is the easiest place to mount it?
Can I mount the value between the brake master cylinder and the stock proportioning block?
Would it mess things up if I did?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Shouldn't your replacement proportioning valve replace the existing one?

Actually, if the disc brakces are off a stock GSL, you should just use the stock GSL Master cylinder and valve.

I did swap the larger master cylinder and the stock proportioning block when I made the rear end change. I bled everything and the rear brakes still lock up before the fronts.

That is why I was going to the remote proportioning valve.

Do you have some other ideas?
