i remember some guys who rallyed there preludes made a switch to turn it on and off. i guess to lock up the wheels around a turn? but as far as weight i think its like 40 lbs total. some guys just weld the unit to the body insted of using the mount to save weight!

i am going to be doing it in a week or so. you will need to get all 6 brake lines from a prelude s model or have custom ones made. you will also need a prelude s proportioning valve. i already have the lines i just have to get the valve.

if your car has abs you wont be able to use the lines you have due to the routing changes from abs to non abs.

yeah they sould screw in...but you know how you got the four lines going into the abs unit, well i was thinking just get 2 "Y splicers" and run the front brakes to the Y fitting then one line to the master cylinder and the other 2 lines the same way....
