I think Jeg's and Summit and just about any race shop will have a brake proportioning valve that you can install. It reduces pressure to one end of the car. They are normally installed in the rear brake line. It was brought to my attention recently that Mazda installs a fixed proportioning valve on the FD in stock form, and I suspect the same for the FC. Perhaps you removed the stock valve with the ABS unit. You might even be able to reinstall it and save a little dough.

which end brakes too much? if the rear does you need one vavle on the rear line. if you want to lower the front you need 2, one on each front line.

I use two in my racer, one is on the pedals fine adjustment ( a balance bar) and one is int he line going to the rear wheels. I use a twin cylinder set-up, but I did not think adjusters are legal for street usage?
