I can feel there is definately some scope for more rear braking. manufacturers err on the side of caution with these things..

EBD (if you had it.. he he he..) works within these parameters. Its good to have as much rear brake bias as possible, Im sure the factory set-up is a little conservative in how it biases rear brake pressure (is there a rear propotioning valve?), but its probably better than lots of rear wheel lock-up. Go for a fabricated pedal box with individual master cylinders and a proportioning adjuster...oh hang on, its a road car, so largely, its best left as standard to keep your power assistance and abs and all the rest. Really good pads I guess, or a rear upgrade as previously stated are probably your best and most likely options. Hope this is of some help.
