It's certainly scary enough for me in my old age!
I'm sure it won't take long to get used to it, but there's always the option of fitting a turbo if I really want to poop my pants

On the handbrake it failed on the difference between left and right sides.

On the brake pedal it didn't exactly fail on front to rear bias.
Mine are heavily based to the front, but what it failed on was combined efficiency. It needs to be 60% (whatever that means ) and I got 57%.
He said the rears looked particularly poor (they currently give about half the braking force of the fronts). I suspect I would have passed if I didn't have quite so much bias.
I'm currently hoping just bleeding the brakes again and bedding the new discs/pads in will get me that extra 3%.

I'm a bit reluctant to take the bias valve out in case it ends up going too far the other way.
