My car has same set up. 4 pot calipers are not really required for lightweight 7 type cars. It is best to get set up on a brake testing machine but a rough way is to adjust bias until rears start to lock up under heavy braking and back off until a good balance is achieved.

Where in the car have you placed the brake bias valve? As far as IVA can I mount it in the cabin of the car?
Cheers

Hope you don't mind me saying but you may get a better response to your question in the 'running gear' section of the forum. Assuming your vehicle is an STM Locost and not an MK................
