Remove it, join the lines and fit a manual bias valve.
I can't remember exactly, but it's 2 lines in and 2 lines out?
I know if you don't fit a bias valve, it'll be dead easy to lock up the rear end, sometimes before the front. and it'll want to spin if you brake hard.
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.

depends what front brakes you've got on Connor, 283's it's fine, 247's and i can vouch for the fact that you don't want to be doing emergency stops . .

well they're not from mine lol . . . .and i have emergency stopped with that setup, ended up sideways, fine fine fine under normal or hardish braking though . . . .i would advise against it although i drove like that for ages before i got put in a situation where i realised . .

you shouldnt need a bias valve in place of it.
if you got drums at the rear and 247s it should be ok.
but discs at rear and 247s and you may have issues

I know it's not that extreme, that's why I said "sometimes".
If the back end wouldn't lock up, why would there be a need for a load sensing valve in the first place?

Mine will lock the rears with drums without the compensators in, even with 307 brakes and race pads up front.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

No ill effects on mine, been running for over a year on 266 fronts and gti rear beam with no compensator, you do have to make a bracket for the brake line though if your taking it off a beam, I just took an angle grinder to the compensator to make one

Are 307 brakes all stock fitment to a 306?
283 and 300mm size (no point with the 266s!), handy upgrade there right?
