Proportioning valve from a 95-98 zip with discs in the rear. If you don't your brakes will be fine but under emergency braking your rear tires will lock up way before your fronts. I didn't notice a difference by swapping prop valves. But if its a daily driver I recommend it for your safety.

If you've got the Bendix ABS brake system.....rip that POS out and install a Dual Diaphragm Booster and Master Cylinder.
