   Right, not too sure if i am asking a stupid question but here goes!
   As the rear on mine is dropped about 50mm the reaar brakes lock up first, so if i remove the bias valve thats on the rear axle will this get rid of the problem?
   
   will it make it so that the fronts and rears brake at the same rate?
   
   I guess that a separate bias valves thats joins with the mc would be the best option?
   
   cheers

   Just adjust the valve, not remove it.
   
   You can loosen it so it doesn't think the car is heavy at the rear!

   yeah your brakes lock up because the load sensing valve thinks the vehicle has load in it due to the lowering, so it makes the rear brakes work harder, a bit of adjustment and it should be fine, not sure if its a case of loosening it or tightening it though
