Default rear braking problem

Haven't been on here for a while, so allot of you probablly dont remember me. You might remember I brought Ryan's old shell, the Imperial blue mk4 with s1 kit.

Anyway, coming to the final stages now and my braking is all out. The back end wants to snap round under heavy braking. I belive this to be to much brake power going to the rear. The ABS has been removed and there are no rear load compensators on the back. I'm not sure what Ryan's setup was or how it worked with his, but I'm told if you replace the front bios valves with non abs ones this will resolve my problem. Surely Ryan would have done this??

Has anyone got any ideas or could point me in the right direction.

Any help greatly appreciated.

you could use the non abs compensators or just buy a bias valve from burton power about £70 so you can adjust the pressure to the back wheels from in side the car if you wanted so you can get the braking spot on just make sure no one fiddles with your knob or it could get messy!
i am just doing this to my car but going to get all braided hoses and run them through the car
