    Thing with the bias valves is they only came fitted to GTI MK1s that I am aware of. The MK2 one is a different mounting so wouldn't go on there.

    The other place I look to get one would be a Cabriolet.

    There are restrictors fitted on some MK1 chassis vehicles, usually just below the master cylinder as the rigid lines go under the firewall.

    It's funny because that's what I thought too.

    As I found out it's legal in Vic., as long as you can't adjust it while your driving.
    That's what an engineer told me, as I'm going to fit one to truck & GTI once the pedal box is made & had to clear it first.

    I have one fitted to Gunter, my competition Golf which is fitted behind the handbrake lever as I only have one pipe running to the rear..It is a Willwood unit and I have the rears backed off as much as possible. I am running Mk2 rear discs.
