yup.... so you have 1 pipe running to the rear beam already?

If so.... just bung a valve in.

remove compensator (or just adjust it)

move the split from 1 to two pipe till the rear.... add bias valve in the car by the seat

squirming about will be down to the fact you have 12mm spacers on the front. makes the car very unstable.

get one bias valve on the rear just run one line down and split it, means running new lines thru tho.

mark, ive tried it with the comp mo's fitted with no spacers and it still squirms think its down to a small car with an engine up front and no weight in the back.

does feel like its the back end as AK said so I might look into the bias valve.

I think all thats required is a bias valve ,I cant understand how front spacers would make the car very unbstable under braking imho.

looking awesome btw

Very nice mate and what you said about the wheel's not looking odd i can agree with, personally i think ET49 sit's to far under the arch and makes the car look very narrow, ET42 is my favourite i think
