what exactly are you after?? the std car has a bias valve anyhows, sometimes its beneficial to remove this application dependant.........
you can buy a bias valve to fit the rear lines (although you would have to alter the pipe runs on a std car to fit) which will enable the rear pressure to be reduced if required or you can go the whole hog and fit a bias adjustable pedal box.............

My bias valve is gone, removed. Car now brakes more flat and feels more planted under braking.

In the process of fitting 6 pots to front and 2 pots to rear and was wondering whether the rear end would overtake the front under heavy braking, car is a 93 WRX.
Wheres the bias located if to be removed ?

if anything your going to be over-braked at the front so rear will be "light"............

Better pads/bigger discs etc on the rear, or remove the brake bias valve.

I've done both.

Mine, on a classic, was rear of engine bay, driver's side, just behind the suspension strut mount.
