my rears are there but not hooked up to anything cause i broke em off on accident when changing my axles and i pulled the fuse so nonw of em work cause of my line-lock, and i havent noticed one damn bit of difference in braking, why do you not want them, just cause they dont work and dont feel like replacing em or something

If you ever plan on having a Vortech/Paxton supercharger you'll have to move it anyways. They are a bitch to do to, when your trying to install a blower. I hate them :wall:

i took mine off years ago and will try to help

seems to me once the pump is off, the ports tell you witch line it is, like FR LR RR LR kind of thing

what i did was plumbed a T just after the prop valve for the front, and the back all you need is a 6'' peice of hard line or so to fill in ware the abs unit used to be.

i think till its all said and done it drops at least 20 pounds off the front of your car

this is the route i would go....if you dont want it all together and the bonus to you is less weight and more room and simpler system....then i would spent the $30 bucks or so and go to the junk yard and take the front lines off of another non-abs v6 or v8 sn95 car and be done....that way its like stock non-abs and for piece of mind....thats what my buddy did to his and his wifes.....i baught mine without it for a reason...they do get in the way and you honestly dont need it....abs system was only designed to allow the driver to have more controll of the car under extreme braking conditions......abs in fact takes the car longer to stop (stoping distance) think about it....more friction is better under stoping right....whats more a locked up wheel or a wheel that is being pulsed by a hydrolic unit....but thats what i would do to make it clean and right...but theres always the other ways....like just making little pieces of line.....the sensors can be unpluged and tosed and the light in the cluster youll probably want to pull unless it wont bother you...ie...the rear sensors run up through the back seat so the but rest of the seat needs to be pulled out....just get in and yank up really hard on each side, front side of rear seat and about in the middle of the front seats if your looking at them from behind.. if that makes sense....it can be a batch....the socket for the sensors is a inverted star socket if you dont have them..or vise grips might work if had to...thats about it.....either way is fine i just perfer the getting the lines from a donor car....junk yards will think your crazy for goin for brake lines and give them to you cheap as dirt ...kinda makes it worth it...thats my $.02

i bent new lines and made them fit into the factory clip things......IMO way easyer then running to a junk yard and laying in mud to get old lines
