[DeTomaso] tech question for anyone that has upgraded their brake system

If the regulator is in fact a brake pressure regulator(s), they are not 
needed with a balance bar system and in fact can confuse the proper setup. 
If on the other hand it's residual pressure valve (also known as 
'keep-alive' valve) that only holds 2psi in the lines to keep pistons & pads closer to 
the rotors for a millisecond or two better response time, you can run it if 
desired. Usually one is only in the front circuit and most master cylinders 
have one built in, so check to see if an extra is already inside the MS; 
I'm not familiar with late Porsche stuff or CNC's products. If so delete one 
or the other. I don't use them at all - more complication I don't need on the 
street- because the close position of the pads causes more brake drag, pad &
 rotor wear, and heating.    FWIW- J DeRyke
