not sure how you do it but it needs doing so the car doesn't think it loaded with weight and locks up when breaking.

yeah the car basicly things it has more weight in it than it does so it allows more pressure to the rear brakes to aid stopping but as you dont have additional weight in the car it will cause the rear brakes to lock up, there was a tread on this before and tell u how to adjust the brake bias valve. heres the link:
