Iv lowered the rear of my Corsa 100mm, and the brake bias valve needs adjusting to prevent the rear wheels locking up all the time.
Has anybody got any pointers on how to do it?
I know where the valve is etc, but dont want to go messing without any advice just in case i break something!
Cheers in advance chaps

I just took the spring out  All seems fine never had it lock up or had any other problems. Just sometimes notice the brakes lack a bit of bite if there are four or five in the car.
Just keep it in a safe place as some people see it as an MOT fail if its not there.
Other then that just make yourself a little bracket so that the spring is still in place but is still slack when the car is resting on its wheels
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

I wouldn't recommend driving it with the spring off but have never tried it so Im not sure.
Adjusting it is easy though but it should be done with the car on its wheels, with no weight in the boot the spring should only just have no tension in it. not slack and flapping about though. when you lower it the spring goes too tight and sends too much pressure to the back wheels.

As far as I know all corsas have it except the van models but someone correct me if im wrong.
It would be easier to get a new one than to bypass it
