    Not sure if this will work, but Put that second bias in, after the first?

    Most bias valves work on a stupid setup where no matter what you set the valve to they let past (for example) 100Psi and then reduce the line pressure after that depending on the valve setting.

    IF you have lock up problems at 85Psi (for example) then no amount of bias valves will help.

    On my wilwood one i tested it braking on bends turning it by half a rotation per time til it didnt lock the rears.

    I dont know how they work, but if you max out the first one, then reduce it again to let less through the second one, but it may already be maxed out so to speak?

    if they limit the pressure then 2 valves limiting ot 80psi will be the same as 1

    If they both only START limiting from 100psi (example) then having 10000000000000 of them wont help if you lock at 80psi.

    This could help click me as it actually locks the line. It might be as efficient the other way round and limit the rear pressure more than an adjustable bias valve can.

    Colin, I'm assuming you're also running a fixed in-line bias valve for the rear like on the stock Nova? if not fitting one might help.

    Ok, if they limited a % through it would have worked, but they dont. As i said i didnt know how they worked.

    could you fit a valve that can stop fluid going to the back brakes?
    on my mid engined autocross nova i have a bias valve that allows me to adjust or turn off the front brakes so i can use the brake pedal as a hand brake

    like i have already said, if it is over braking on the rear, you could physically remove brake material from the pad. or get a different sized master cyl for the rear

    Removing pad material wont 'lose' much braking imho... The pads are small and assuming the contact is in the middle of the pad he will wind up taking the top 75% off the pad, it will sit wonky and really go wrong when braking, so the upper 25% would need leaving on too, which will result in more force on the outer edge.

    tbh just adding a layer of grease might reduce things enough
