Im running standard sierra master cylinder with sierra disks front and rear....
I have a feeling it will be easier getting through the SVA brake test with it fitted....
Dont you agree?

Yes you will need it to reduce rear braking. Although it may be worth just finding a bias valve to stick in the rear line. That way you can finely
adjust to suit. I think you would have to hide the adjuster though or take the knob off for SVA as bias should be fixed.

Hi
A few paople (me included) have used the rear brake compensator from a Fiat Uno. It's located under in front of the passenger side rear wheel by
the suspension trailing arm.
You can use it to make an adjustable compensator/bias valve. Had to cut top of the bolt and add some resin / glue at sva after resetting it there so
the rears didnt lock up first

Sierra valve won't do anything durring a roller test it needs actual deceleration to work.
Fiat (Strada/Ritmo or Uno) or Lada Riva valve is a better bet. Very cheap from brakes int.
