Default removing abs on a 93 del sol.....

I read a few threads on removing the abs on tegs, but I have not seen one for a sol yet. Is there any difference, and do I need the same 40/40 prop. valve?

do you need to swap to rear discs to do it? Are there any good threads I am missing for a rear disc conversion?

If you're switching to non-ABS, you may as well upgrade the prop valve even if you don't plan to put disk brake in until later.

DA non-ABS or DC RS brake booster and master cylinder, or you can use adapters and bend your lines and make your current one work. $10-100 for the former, <$20 the latter
DA 4040 prop valve. Usually around $40.
new brake lines.
rear disk conversion (you don't need the trailing arm, just the hub part on there)
line wrenches, also known as tubing wrenches. They look like this and make your job 9948584535945435x easier: http://www.bracketracer.com/nova/cppfdb/mc/cppfd123.jpg
These are like $15 at Autozone for a set.

Don't mess with your front brakes, you already have Integra sized ones.
You could upgrade to AN fittings, but that will require adapters and a flaring tool and it's not necessary at all.

If you need a 4040 prop valve or want a cheap (13/16) non-abs master cylinder/booster PM me.

If its a '92 - '95 and it has ABS its already got rear discs and larger EX front brakes. You need to use non ABS lines and the 7/8 MC off a non-ABS EX coupe along with a 3030 prop valve which can be had from any CX/DX/VX/non-ABS LX/non-ABS EX.

If you don't see a bunch of brake lines running over to a box on the pass side right behind the headlight (by your air intake box) then you do not have abs.

I didn't have abs on my 93' Del Sol Si. Hope this helps

Also if yours is an Si, it should have rear disc unless someone really flucked up. The Del Sol S didn't come with rear disc.

i dont think abs was avialable in 93. pretty sure 95+ vtec trim had abs though, and possibly some 94's
