And a lot of lousy braking.

Brakes make you go fast, if you don't get them right then most of the other
stuff won't matter. To set your brakes up properly you need adjustable bias. A
compensating valve only decreases the braking force applied to the rear, which
might be okay if that's your problem. I like cabin adjustable bias but
swapping out spacers or turning a screw works fine too. Just spend some time
getting the car not to swap ends under very hard braking and you're good. You
can drive around having your brakes not quite right, but why would you. Easy
to do, and very cheap compared to everything else.

I like having both brake cylinders the same, but that's just because it's
minimal parts to carry.
