   With ABS and bias valves do you not need one to each caliper? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

   Is it a mk1 or mk2? Think the older ones have a compensator valve on the rear which you can disconnect and adjust (I think)
   
   Not too sure on the mk2s as they have electronic brake distribution (I think)

   quite likely, I have had both compbrake ones and wilwood ones fail on me.
