Quick question does any one run the c20xe with 2.0l breaks and standard drums if so when under heavy breakin does the back end come out or do you have to fit a bias valve or uprate the rears ? Thanks

the reason i wanted to know because i was having a massive arguement with my mate sayin the back end will go and you will crash and about bias valves
so the back end is fine under hard breaking then

you can adjust the rear brake bias too IIRC, but dont quote me on that.

I run mine with drums on the rear, if you fit discs then you end up reducing the braking down so that they dont lock up an thus defeat the object of fitting them in the first place.
Also you should never be braking and turning at the same time, if you are you deserve to crash.

Just disconnect the Bias Valve Spring. Couses some problems with lowered cars, and if you hit the brakes mid-bend it will try and slide
Disconnecting the spring sorted that problem on lee's corsa IIRC.

My back end has slid out once or twice under heavy braking though, its a bit scary! Thats with 305mm 4 pots up front, and drums at the back
