Hi ..I am laying out my brake system and I am wondering if I should be looking at residual valves and a proportioning valve?
My builder tells me neither are necessary unless the car was to be raced. He also says that I do not have the type of disc brakes that require it.

I quote .

" External proportioning and residual line pressure valves are generally not required. We use these only when going to 4-piston calipers and a racing application."

He is a skilled guy and I trust him but thought I would throw it out to seek a second opinion. If I need them I would like to do it at this stage.

I thought elevation of the master in relation to the brake calipers elevation was the deciding factor??
FYI I have floor mounted assemblieswith the remote reservoirs
The master is easily lower than the calipers at each wheel. Therefore, do I need the residuals or not?
They would act as check valves acting against the head and drainage back to to the master ....correct??
