It will still require a fair amount of pressure before it starts  
reducing the pressure. It will have too much pressure on the fronts  
until that happens. I want well balanced brakes throughout the entire  
range.

Come to think of it, having the prop valve in the front cirquit is a  
stupid idea. During hard braking you get weight shift to the front,  
and what you need then is to reduce the force on the now lighter  
loaded rears to avoid having them lock up. With the improperly  
balanced brakes of at least my car the fronts will have locked up  
before you get to this point.
