If this is true, then on proportioning valves with the built in distribution block (normal GM type) allowing separate lines for the front brakes do they recommend you use two separate residual valves for the front brake lines?

I've installed my residual valves between MC and proportioning valve, when I researched it that is how I thought it was supposed to be, can't remember exactly why now, but it does make sense I think.

Here's some info

They don't explain location, but in the pictures they show with adjustable proportioning valves the residuals go between the MC and the valve.

Any other thoughts or reasons on where and why?
