I have been looking at my brakes and making upgrades when necessary. When I built my kit I was given two different sizes of steel brake lines 3/32 for the front and 1/8 for the rears. I have disc brakes front and back (11" GM metric on the front and Thunderbird 9" on the rear). My kit came with no porportioning valve but I am installing one this weekend. That is when I got to looking at my brake lines a little closer and was wondering if I should replace my larger rear brake lines with the smaller 3/32" brake lines like I have on the front. I have read that drum brakes require 10 lbs of pressure and disc only require 2 or 3 pounds of pressure to work properly.

I don't have the pedal feel that I want yet, however the car does stop pretty good. I cannot lock up my brakes at speeds under 60 or 70 mph and just barely get some squeel when they do lock up. Any ideas on the brake lines being the same size? By the way I am running a stock late model Mustang master cylinder.
