How do you guys feel about residual pressure valves. I've got one 2 lb blue valve on each caliper in front and have always had good pedal. It's dangerous to drive in the snow and ice though.
 
I've got RPVs in my street rod setup, but that's just because I've got the m/c under the floor. I've never given it much thought in applications where the m/c is significantly higher than the calipers.
 
It basically does the same thing as the springs in the stock caliper. Holds the pads against the rotor with 2 lbs of pressure.

I think i'm going to take them off.
