I have the bias set so when I'm threshold braking -- I know I've hit that point when the rears chatter (hop) and the ass is in the air and the nose is digging a hole - that way I know to let up just a bit.... it's a "telltale".
I had the same set up on my car. It was great on the road course.

The street is a different ball game. Cold pads and way less friction.
