Thanks again!

You don't need the residual valves unless the master is below the brakes. The valves are used to prevent the brake fluid from gravity bleeding back into the master.

I got rid of the factory porportioning valving and replaced it with an adjustable one for the rear brakes. I believe the Wilwood master already is already porportioned.
