Why do you want to take it out?

The ITR ABS is one of the most NON intrusive and Effective ABS systems out there,,, and a Hell of a value at that.

ITR Brakes & ABS=

Do NOT take it out and please Don't list weight savings as your reason unless of course you are a pure Drag ONLY car and into serious levels of competition, otherwise don't mess with it.


A. who has recently REALLY discovered how Awesome my brakes are and my times have gotten better as Proof!

It'll mess up the effective use of brakes on your car.

I never agreed with all these wannabe hardcore racers who claim "real drivers" dont use ABS. Only but the best drivers can out brake an ABS system, for the rest of us who arent Peter Cunningham, ABS is a wonderful invention.

In a panic stop, just mash the brake to the floor and let the computer sort it out!

In fact the World Challenge series on Speedvision allows cars with stock ABS to keep it and most of those drivers even opt to keep it.

Its a no brainer. ABS =

dunno about that!? I don't think PD can modulate his left foott that fast. Must be a form of "bump-draft electro shock" tactic

I pulled my ABS. You need:

1) RS booster
2) RS master cylinder 15/16"
3) 4 hard lines: (2) from the MC to the prop valve and (2) to the front 2 wheels
4) RS prop valve stamped "4040" aka 1994-1995 Integra RS prop valve.

It wont mess anything up

Your having alot of problems with your teg arent you? Missing LSD, Missing ABS. WTF man?

Trying to lock up the wheels is the best way to check if your ABS is working. Water will make it easier.

You can just pull the fuse if you don't like it. I personally wouldn't do heavy brake work unless there was some one there that knew exactly what to do. Brakes stop the car! If the car doesn't stop then you have a problem.
