Had an idea to make use of the stock gsi bias valve..

Planning on doing track days i might need to adjust the rear bias depending on dry or wet conditions, so i thought id try and utilise the standard part.

The simple idea is to fit a braket allowing me to mount and attach a wire cable (like your lawnmower throttle cable) to the lever on the stock load bias......and run it inside the car up near the hand break to a lever.

quick diag..




what do ya recon... im deffo gonna give it a go

Yes it is spring loaded as standard but the spring is attached to the rear beam, and it wouldnt be used... there is quite abit of movement and i just tested it full up and full down and there is quite a big difference

just slacken the rear off completely, no need for any braking on the back, makes it unstable when the car is stripped.

it wouldnt be on the dash, it would be near the handbrake, i was going to make a billet alloy lever for it.. From my experience brakes make a huge difference to stopping and keeping the car stable

On a car like a corsa, you don't need rear brakes. A large set of front ones are enough.
