car lowered 60mm all round, running 2.0 brakes up front
have adjusted the rear compersating valve as far as it will go
under hard braking can fill the rear sliding around and pulling to the right
how can i get more braking effort to the front????
also running green stuff pads, will be swaping to GM ones, due to need to be warm before they start working - mite make it better due to not getting pads warm enough for them to work efficently

The spring stretches when you have weight in the rear/or lower it as it fools the system into thinking you have people/stuff in the rear, therefore applies more brake bias to the rear.
So your bias valve will think you've got loads of weight in the back, when you havent.
Remove it, see how you go mate......mine broke off anyway and i left it like it. But had no idea what it did anyway

but then the valve can flap around freely (i think) - uncontrolable bias valve then, hit a bump and it could send all to the rear, then front if you get what im saying
but im sure its also as far back (even if the spring wasn't there) as it will go???

remove the spring completely and jam the valve open, not difficult to make a small bracket to keep it open if needed
