Locking rear brakes!

Not sure if this is the correct section to ask this but I need some help...

I've recently replaced my std diff with an LS to my "close to standard" race Giulia.

We decided to take off the rear ant-roll bar to further help the traction out of corners which I think is now the cause of the rear wheels locking up under heavy braking. I'm new to racing so I wasn't even sure what was happening as I haven't actually seen smoke or anything in the mirrors to confirm this, but the dashboard shudders so violently when this happens I can barely see the gauges - and so I'm told it's caused by locking the rear wheels.

I have new limit straps which I'm also told are standard length, which I originally thought could be lifting up the back axle (now that the anti roll bar isn't there) under heavy braking causing the wheels to lock.

Any advice/opinions/comments appreciated.
