    I think you have a couple ideas backwards------disc brakes need 2 lb valve to keep pads near disc-and masters have them----combo valves don't have proportion valves -they have the front delay valve-OEM systems are designed as needed to be without proportion valves-hotrodders and racers create that need with either race braking needs or in the case of street rodders the big/little tire deal crated imbalance the system wasn't designed for


    Somehow whole thing didn't post---------With a OEM type combo valve ( for street/road driving/braking) you shouldn't need a separate additional proportioning valve unless your caliper size/ disc diameters are why out of balanced size--again the big/little tire sizes really compound area for improper components.
