it is just an mr2 thing. they do indeed lock up easily when you just mash the brake pedal hard. stems from the lighter front end unfortunately (or fortunately), you need to get the weight shifting to the front end before you you can hard brake.
but if your looking for advise on how to solve it. i guess you you try looking into option like these but not limited to:
1. didn't SW20's come with an ABS brake option. perhaps get one of these systems and install it.
2. add as much weight to the front end of the car as you can.
3. do you brake bias valve adjuster that you have.
4. as others have said dick around with springs rates.
5. learn to brake better. as said you can't just mash the pedal you need to apply it in stages a bit first to transfer the weight to the front wheels, then you can brake hard.
If you don't want to try improving your skill the first 4 options will be the best for you. thats my experience coming from an AW11 anyway. Done some driver training with Rick Bates and number 5 was his advise. so go complain to him if you don't like it.
