No proportioning valve. I don't see any difference in braking.

Thyme CA,

Thank you for your interest in our products. I believe you'll find our kits are complete and our customer support is informative.

A proportioning valve is an important component in the braking system. Stock, the ABS controller biased your brakes. Internally, it included valving to control the vehicles needs. When you remove/disable ABS, you remove these components and the ability to adjust front/rear pressures via the controller. This is why adding a valve is important.

Incorrectly biased brake system increases stopping distances, increases uncontrolled braking and can create hazardous braking situations.
