And I only have the shitty non US spec rear brakes, with TRD pads (that are only marginally more agressive than stock.)

So the only thing I'm left with doing is installing a proportioning valve to reduce rear bias.

Bit disappoint TBH. When they say they work with stock rears, I expected they meant it maintained similar bias.
Just an FYI, you can adjust bias by changing front and rear pad compounds. I do it all the time with Cobalt pads, testing out different bias by adjusting compounds. Went from XR2 F / XR4 R then to XR2 square which gave a bit more rear bias for better rotation under trailbraking, and will be testing a XR1 F / XR2 R combo next.
