Just want to know if it makes sense putting an adjustable Wilwood proportioning valve in the rear brakes line next to the brakes booster of my Turbo 2.Would this help to make the car stop better or just mess up the stopping of my car.

if you're using stock calipers, its pretty worthless. the front-rear balance of the brakes is set up like perfectly from the factory, so putting in a proportioning valve would most likely just screw if up, and won't help at all.

IF maybe you're running some rediculously staggered, then maybe it might help very slightly, but it would be better to just use slightly different pads front and rear to find the balance you want.

proportioning valve is only really helpfull if you're doing like a big brake upgrade.
