Still a valid question, you need to have the right Prop valve even if you have a good pedal. I am pretty sure they are different for rear discs.

Ask about master cyl and prop vale - wait, does this have one of those large ABS units? Do they even have prop valves? I've never looked that closely at 4th gen setups.
