Default BDR Brake Bias

Folks:

I've noticed for some time now that my rear wheel brakes make more brake dust than my front wheel brakes, which leads me to wonder if the front/rear brake bias is appropriate for my car (99.999% street driven). So, I was thinking of installing a brake proportioning valve to give me some adjustability. My eyes are nearly healed up from a series of surgeries--its a long story--so that I can now be a bit more aggressive with braking and would like to make sure the bias is properly set. I understand the standard master cyl for the BDR is an ATE unit built for a Nissan installation, which is supposed to have proportioning more suitable to a BDR than say a stock BMW 325 unit. If so great. My understanding from Reg is that it can't be adjusted. Is it worthwhile to install a proportioning valve?

Thanks,
