Why do you exclude the front brakes from your proportioning valve?

Yeah, the $250 soft line kit is a bit of a laugh... I'm currently up in the air on whether I want to get the Wilwood 2 inlet, 3 outlet, prop valve, or just use the factory one and T the front brake lines.

Because you want full pressure to your front brakes. The rears you want to set so they lock slightly after the fronts do. If the rear brakes lock first, the car will want to swap ends on you. This could be considered a bad thing in the middle of a corner.
