The front Brakes aren't connected to it yet, but you get the idea.


id do it the same way but im running skinnies and would hate to lock them going pretty fast..im just gonna find a dual inlet/outlet proportional valve and do the lines myself cause im tight!!

Though the base kits are rather inexpensive at 139.99 which include the proportioning valve and every fitting needed with preformed lines... (Proportioning valve alone would cost ~50.00 w/shipping from summitracing)...It may not be worth the efforts spent for a dollar saved...especially if you're picking up pieces from a variety of sources. Totaling up all costs...one will find they may not have saved as much as they thought.

...For the ones that do want to attempt it on their own...we are happy to provide any of the components needed. Give us a ring and list of components you would want/need.

I'm not sure why you've chosen the dual style, but it can work as well...we do not use it. For whatever reasoning you chose them, if you prefer it, we can supply them to you as well. Obviously the route you're considering is going to cost in excess of what our preformed ready to install kits cost. You need to decide on how you feel is best to setup your car if you prefer to create a kit on your own. Let me know what you want and I would be happy to see what I can do for you. Please e-mail a list of components if you're interested.

The choice is yours. Sometimes its nice to stake claim of making something yourself for your own gratification. There is nothing wrong with that. Modifying each owns car can be fun. For the reason of saving money though doesn't always work as the best option once you add time, as well as material costs.

Good luck!

Yep, it's a regulator - adjusts/lowers hyd pressure to the rears, helps to avoid locking up under medium - hard braking.

Cut it off or remove the wiring through the harness. Make sure all related ABS fuses are removed. Removing the wiring may take quite a bit of time.

side note, CWS T/A, your pictures and setup turned out very nice, great job!
