Here is my plan...unless someone can make a better argument.

So I now have my billet front hubs, so I am going to be running M calipers with Pagid orange in front. With SC vented rotors.
For the rear I can either run stock 4 rears or put the stock 4 fronts on the rear. With mid performance or stock pads.
Remove the stock proportioning valve and place a T? or leave proportioning valve?
Parking brake will be removed regardless because of roll bar interference with hand brake mechanism.

Will be running stock 4 bolt Fuchs with "R" rated tires.

So give me your best shots, suggestions etc.

T or adjustable valve. The adjustable one is preferred, because you can fiddle the balance if you find it's got too much rear bias. But, according to a number of other people around here, you shouldn't have too much rear bias...
