u have to change everything execpt the 2 lines coming from the rear, any eg without abs will work, u need the master cylinder, prop valve, and lines going from each as well as the lines going from the prop valve to the 2 front brakes

if you have time and patience you can tuck the abs brain.

need some 3/16 brake line, flare tool and some flare fittings.

at this point you mine as well tuck the whole brake system.

check out the tuck,shave engine bay thread on HT. the first page has TONS of useful info. and if you feel like reading the hundreds of paged you will definately gain tons of knowledge.

That's a really...interesting reason to get rid of your ABS. I'll wait for the part where you say you don't need it and you're a waaay better driver without it anyway. But no, engine bay appearance is a great reason to get rid of ABS, go for it.

So let me get this straight. You want to eliminate your ABS because it doesnt look good under the hood? Really?

Let's be real, hondas don't go fast enough to need it. It was a cosmetic mod from the factory, similar to a rear spoiler.
