proportioning valve a MUST for teg rear disc conversion?

i have just recently finished doing the rear disc conversion on my 95 civic ex. i have to say i am impressed with the difference and love the whole look of the 4 wheel discs. however i completely forgot about the proportioning valve and it is sitting on my desk in my room from the swap car. is it necessary to go back and swap it onto my civic for the best results or should i jus let it sit how it is? any help would be greatly appreciated thanx

You'll have uneven braking between the front and rear brakes if you don't use it. So yes, for best results use it.

I have seen these Brembo covers that go over the top of the stock caliper and it makes them look like Brembo calipers.
