And just like clickbait, it didn't have an actual fix like the headline suggested.
A+, 5/7, would get duped again.

Is that bolt 1/4-20?
Hmmmm. That factory load sensing proportioning valve adjusts the brake power to the rear wheels based upon the traction they have. It does this by INCREASING the brake power to the rears when the suspension is compressed, and DECREASING the power when its empty. By eliminating it (vs having an operating LSPV), your fronts will tend to lock up at max braking when loaded, and the rears will tend to lock up when unloaded. In normal driving and some gravel road testing you may declare victory with this mod. The first inkling it was a bad idea will be when you are doing an emergency evasive maneuver to avoid something for real, and the rear end comes around. If you're really, REALLY good you will catch it and merely end up in the oncoming lane yelling 4 letter words and heading back to your lane. And if you're really, really LUCKY you will not center punch 3 teenage girls in a Nissan Sentra and kill them all. If that happens, and during the modern forensic examination of your vehicle that happens nowadays they discover you eliminated a device meant to help in emergency braking maneuvers, you will get shelled. And deserve it.
I get it. The LSPV broke and the first try did not fix it. But that's not a good idea and shouldn't be sold as one on a public forum. I have personally driven vehicles on proving grounds during brake system development and there is a damn good reason for that feature on a high CG vehicle.

Also the 100 series does not use a LSPV or any way of adjusting front to rear braking with a load change that Im aware of.
