Trying to figure out how to tune out my abs and if you get a rear end that does not have a abs ring. Can you leave the abs box in and it still work for the front. What should i do

you can leave the abs system in but you wont have abs.
i've ran for years like that, just had the annoying light.

Thank you popo well i guess ill just have to live with out it and is it hard to delete the abs. And lastly if using a line lock how would i incorporate that into the brake system with out the abs block

We deleted my actual abs pretty easy..and just t'd off for the rear. Ive seen others do it with kits and propotioning valves. Idk if u can delete it from one end ad not the other tho...

Should always run a prop valve for rear brakes, otherwise you run the risk of the rears locking before the fronts. If it's a 4 channel car there is just an extra tee. The SJM kit is nice, but buy a good hydraulic flaring tool. There is no way to tune out the abs lights, you could prolly figure out how to fool the harness and lights with resistors. But it's easier to just pull the bulbs

I'm just stating what has been said by many people in road racing and from brake companies.

Personally, I have had them lock before the fronts under hard braking for a deer, had to turn down the prop valve a little that night.

Good read.

Nope, the ABS lights are controlled by the EBCM, not the PCM. However, you should be able to ground the EBCM side of that circuit to keep the light off, because that's all the EBCM does.
