So how do people go about getting these to sit right once the axle has been lowerd? I just rebuilt my axle lowerd it and didnt think anything of it till I had to brake round a wet bend tonight the rear locked up and the back end stepped out. Thankfully everythings fine and it was in arse end of nowhere but its got me thinkin I may want to adjust it now

Shortening the bar the "appropriate" amount, simple as that 
(Or get fatter brakes up front and remove the load sensing valve completely)

I looked into getting rid of mine but it would just lock the back to fast. Really need a bias valve to do that

No, I'm not even sure if it'd be possible tbh. If it was it wouldn't be easy, you'd need the ABS unit, loom, hubs for sensors etc etc.

True, but it's easy to shove an XUD in a ph3. 
Also phase 2 ABS is terrible...

Its cheaper to find a phase 2 and mod it to look like phase 3 on insurance than do an engine conversion on phase 3 atm anyway untill my insurance renewal

Oh, if it already has ABS maybe the sensors are the same. I don't know I'm afraid, never owned a phase 1!
