**** both of those things 
i changed to a series 2 rearend and lost abs ohwell.. i drive on 1/32 tires to just be carefull im gonna get a Line lock and valve screw which i can portion the braking power of the car to the front or back..when u take ABS off its good to have one due to ABS is what currects the stock faults of the braking

I got his kit and it works great .The only downside was that i bought the kit that came with the flairing tool.Its so cheap that i was unable to do a "double flair" right.So i rent a one pieces flairing tool from my part stores and its was really easy.
Another thing when you delete abs, do the job right.This mean is that you absolutely need a proportion valve to calibrate your rear brake.When you delete the abs you loose a lot of rear braking power .In an emergency, you need the front to lock at the same times has the rear lock.
To calibrate a proportion valve, you go on an empty road .Run the car to 60mph and then slam the brake to lock the wheels.Bring a friend so that he can be on the side of the road and check wich lock first.The front will lock first so just adjust the valve 1/2 to 1 turn at a time an do it again until they all lock at the same time.
By the way for some of the owner that delete the abs without using a proportion valve,i know that your brake will still work...but not at there best.The front will lock but the rear will not or maybe they will but too late.
I still dont understand why people play with safety(brake is kinda big safety equippement
) for saving 50$
Do it once, do it wrigth and if your missing money dont do it and wait

I would have to disagree with this. I origanally bought the kit without the SMJ double flair tool. I went through 2 store bought flair tools, and broke a friends flair tool, before I just went ahead and ordered the SMJ modified tool. The SMJ made a good flair everytime.
