It looks straight forward enough but not simple

i was thinking of doing this to my sapphire and removing the abs unit i also have 8pot calipers on the front and standard rear callipers for now , was wondering if it makes sense to switch from the original abs unit to the pedal box and if no are they any other options that i might be able to explore

Haven't got that far yet lime I think it's going to be better as you can adjust the brake bias for when you need it but a few people still use the old abs on their track cars and prefer it

To be honest my abs on my 3dr is old and it leaked and ruined mt inner bay so as with 90% of my car has been renewed I thought I'd renew this as I'm running hyd hambrake aswell as ap4pots all round so nms used 1" box section to fit it in weldining a frame to the inner pedal box area and having to strengthen the bulkhead aswell it's not a straight forward job seems simple when you look at what they done but not if like me your handy with welder but this is motorsport stuff needs to be done right or it will be a disaster lol....
