There isn't a load based brake compensator on a 309 like there are on 106, 306's etc, with the exception of rare ABS models (and they have one per side, not a combined one like the x06 models).
If the GTi rear brakes have been fitted as per a 309 GTi then it'll have a pair of inline compensators.
Best guess for the dragging feeling on bumps when you've a lot of weight in the back is that the handbrake cables are too tight and pulling on the bumps when the back is sitting low from the weight. The route of them on 205's and 309's means that they tighten slightly as the arm moves upwards.
You shouldn't lose the brakes completely because of that though, although the rears will overheat eventually from the dragging.
