are the std rear compensators enough to stop it swapping ends or should i fit reducers?

cheers

i'm using the standard brakes all round with no abs just using the rear compensators and the car is fine/balanced when braking very heavily- alots more responsive than with the abs for sure

how do you get rid of the abs?

Some people even go as far as removing the variable proportioning valves and fitting the fixed rate items in the engine bay like a non ABS car.

The variable ones also make the rear lines very difficult to bleed unless you disconnect them so you can fully open them.

I've never disconnected mine to bleed the rears and have never had a problem bleeding them! its a piece of piss

You might not find it so easy if you get air in the lines - its a piece of piss to pump the fluid through though.

When i did my rear disc conversion i removed the abs at the same time!! there was loads of air in the system and it was a piece of piss to bleed it all after!!!

cool cheers

as for how i just made up pipes from the cylinder to the T's on each inner wing and binned the abs completely

can make up more pipes in anybody wants, i can post as a reel then you just shape how you see fit and bolt into the fixings either end
easiest way by far, spend weeks trying to get braided made but no joy

Good for you.
