you need to replumb the brake system. It's currently diagonally split, it needs to be front/rear split to use the bias valve.

Its worth fitting it mate as the guys above said your arse could overtake you! I fit one to mine pritty easy to do and like Rick said above u need to re-plub your brakes so they are front and rear. Easy to do mate took me couple hours max to do...if u need any pics etc just ask mate and ill send them to ya!

I made up a metal L shaped bracket and put it down by the handbrake, only trouble with havin it here is u will had to drill 2 holes in your floor.

As u can see thats how to plumb it all in mate, but it would be better if u put bigger brakes on the front then u wont need the bias valve.

And also take out your ABS if u havent already, will make a big difference to braking.

They are the valves that sit near the rear lower arms. Basicly they stop the rear brakes locking up when you go over a bump and the back ends lifts up.

My rear load compensators are fucked too. Rear brakes would not relase completely, approx 10 min after releasing brake pedal brakes are free. So i will throw those away. Can you recommend some good brake bias valve?
