Coming out of lurk mode...

My '85 4KSQ needs brakes all around.  The car has the original rotors, 
calipers, lines, master cylinder and leaky proportioning valve.

Where can I get good quality reman F&R caliper w/ bracket, and what is a fair 
price?

ATE atom rotors- I've seen them used on A1 VW's w/ good results, any feedback 
on 4KQ applications?  Who has a good price?

Should the still functional M.C. be replaced at 16yrs. old and 160K miles?  
If so, is a reman available and a good idea?

The prop valve is leaking pretty bad now (have to top off reservoir every 2 
weeks).  Is a stock replacement available from an inexpensive aftermarket 
source?  I am considering an adjustable prop valve, has anybody done this in 
the stock location?

Any other comments, warnings or BTDT's are welcomed.

Thanks for any & all info...
