Another ABS delete. Deleting My ABS, and converting my Brakes all over to AN fittings, for now just my rears will be strange drag brakes. I am replacing all the lines with 304 Stainless Hard tube, and Teflon stainless braided AN lines. Yes I am Bending, bubble and double flaring where applicable, my own lines, no kits here!!!
Here are some pics, I started tonight, got about 2 hours in. Have the lines to the new prop valve, and line lock done, and up to one wheel.

It's always nice to see someone build their own setup. Good job! There's nothing that replaces the sense of self accomplishment. For the folks who wish to attempt to build their own configuration, we can offer you separate components to build your design.
From a cost and time perspective, its probably not the best solution. For folks who are looking for a custom fit complete kit, we have the solution for you.

Weight savings is going to vary slightly depending on what you're removing. TCS cars should see close to 20lbs. Non TCS cars about 15lbs.
Weight also depends on the year your car was built as components vary.
Removing ABS opens up tire selections and associated ABS problems, cleans the engine bay up, increases space for turbo or supercharger setups etc etc.

ordered my sjm stuff yesterday, hope to have install pics in the near future, ill be sure to make a thread as well
anyone on the fence......i couldn't have been happier with the customer service i received from sjm, both on the phone and via email communication, they are a top notch sponsor and i hope to do more business with them in the future
edit, got my kit in today, and love it already, just need to finish the car and give it a good bath.
i opted to keep the stock braided lines for now, gonna redo it whenever the motor comes out of the car...

I did thia a year ago with a kit from quartermax, which included all the needed -3an fittings, tube nuts, etc. easy single 37 degree flares with the tube nuts on every enf of every line, ran a single line to the back and a single down to at T for the front, and ran the front line across the lower radiator support, so I now can drop the k member and not even crack a brake line if I don't want to.
Came out pretty good for my first attempt.
Definately a project, but man did it clean alot of the engine bay up!
