Rear brakes locking.

Hey, Ok so here is whats going on.
I have a 96 civic hatchback, with Integra GSR rear brakes and civic SI front brakes. with a GSR prop valve, basically locking up my rears before my front.
From my understanding for my car anyways, the brake flow from the master cylinder to the calipers, one line from master cylinder goes to LF and RR, the other goes to RF and LR. I know they go to the prop valve before that but hear me out. correct me if i'm wrong.
The solution I found is just like what they do for the muscle cars. where one line goes to the 2 front brakes and the other to the rears. where they buy a valve that adjusts the psi going to the rear brakes to decrease the power of the rears so it won't lock up. but it is much easier for them because they would only need one valve just after the master cylinder.
My question is can i just install 2 of these valves right after the prop valve to the rear brakes(because there are 2 lines to the rear). would there be any issues if i install these valves after my prop valve? From my understanding if the valves were at full flow, that would not change the brake bias whatsoever until i restricted it. Will this restriction have any down effects to my overall performance of the front brakes?? and would this valve actually help me decrease the force of the rear brakes if done this method?
Thanks in advance!!

shrugs
why did you beef up your rear brakes in the first place?
so you can do burnouts?

Drums in the rear, stock.
And I beefed up my front brakes too.. And no not because I wanted to do burnouts..
