Rear Disc Question, Yeah Another One of them threads.
I did a little bit of searching, nothing concrete answering my question.
I wanted to know the best way to do rear disc swap on a car with ABS.
Would be best to remove the chip so the car thinks its non abs?
Or would finding an ABS rear and either extending / redoing the rear lines be better?
Car is a 96 EX coupe (5-Speed), I read that it was standard on the 4 doors, and an option on the auto, I definatly have ABS though.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer - rear discs IMO are one of the best upgrades per dollar I can do.

I believe ABS was available on all Integras, so you don't need to specifically look for GSR. However, trying to find swap that's as complete as described is going to be very difficult. Sensors tend to be easily damaged.

Actually, best upgrade per dollar would probably be to learn how to be better driver. Take note, I'm not saying you're bad driver. A good driver can extract maximum performance from his car w/out modifications.

I think RS Integras didn't have ABS.

Have you ever thought about getting better front brakes? Better front brakes will stop you better than just converting the rear to discs.
