Sorry guys but no prop valves for a couple of more days. I found a few of them ABS and non ABS, but they were located right behind the engine - very hard to reach on V6. Next time I go I promise Ill have them.
ya ive had the setup from mko for a few months and still have yet to do it prolly next week me and my buddy are gunna tackle it ... but i would like to change the porportioning valve any ways even thought im gunna stay single piston ... if any body finds a place to get these cheap id rather go brand new with this part just to play it safe, as well braking is the most important function in a car lol

Well, I bought the proportioning valve for the 3.0L 2003 Galant. I didn't know that the 3.0L came with dual pistons still. I thought they stopped that in 99. Anyway, the part number is MB699551 and was $50 brand new from the dealer.
I noticed that there was a difference in my braking performance after swapping the valves. Earlier, I would notice that there was a lot more pressure on the front brakes after stopping, but after this change, the braking is a lot more smooth and balanced out. I'm not sure if it's my imagination.
I also bought the 3.0L e-brake cables from the dealer and swapped them out with the new backing plates, therefore I didn't have to make any mods to the backing plates. Just straight plug and play.
The only thing I noticed is after all this is, there's a strange popping sound from the back when I press the brakes now. I suspect that it might be air going through the drilled and slotted rotors from R1Concepts, but I'm not sure. I was told that it's a possibility because the rear rotors are so much thinner than the front ones and it might just be normal for drilled rotors. Anyone else notice this? You have to drive near another car or wall and slowly press the brakes with the window open to notice this sound.
I have a similar noise from my rears too i think it's the pad i used with my cross drilled
I've had no problem or noise from mine.
That's rather interesting... I want to get this valve done right away. How complicated is it for the e cable? lol... I rather drill the damn thing lol

I have a problem getting both backing plates for my conversion.... anybody has or know where I can get them? The junkyards act like dummies when I ask for them and point them out to them.
I got mine from rez887, but check other junkyards to see if they can take them off for you.
