Default 2002 Honda Insight ABS Delete, proportioning valve question.

I am re plumbing my brake hydraulics to work without ABS, I have the stock master cylinder with two lines out, four brake lines to feed and I don't know which proportioning valve to use to use. Brakes will remain stock. Front disc, rear drum.

I must ask what your intent is on this project. What are your stated goals?

An ABS delete is a deletion of a very critically designed braking safety feature, and should never be removed from a road car.

If this is a drag or off-road car, you should be considering other options, like not using Insight brakes at all instead of band-aiding.

My intent is to hook up the brakes without ABS. If it makes you feel any better I took the airbags out too. Thanks for your concern but my 43 year old self can handle this, just wondering which prop valve would be best.

The brakes are more or less EF civic stuff. I would find a proportioning valve for one of those.

Edit: I was just out looking at my Insight, it has a proportioning valve already. Mounted on the passenger side shock tower just a bit rearward from the ABS pump. Why not just use that?

Well, Im not 100% sure why but it seems that people that have deleted ABS from other cars wind up needing a non-abs unit...... If that is incorrect in my case I hope I still have the thing, already bought a $20 civic dx unit as well.
