    I installed one for my rear drums when I put discs on the front. You only (normaly) use it for the rears. You plumb it inline in the main line going to the rear brakes. As it turned out, I didn't need to adjust it from the wide open position. Apparently the fact that I'm running 10" drums and they have so little stopping power, they proportioned themselves. LOL You really should only have to dial it down if your rears are locking up when you hit the binders
