It is 100% plug and play. No lines are bent, no custom fittings required, etc. It does not require a new brake master cylinder or booster.
Recommended Tools:
-Flare nut 10mm wrench.
Rec: Avoid Harbor Freight. Sears sells a set for ~$25 is excellent to have and will cover all your brake and fuel line needs in the future.
Steps:
-Remove ABS components
-Install the replacement lines
-Install replacement prop valve, and bleed the brakes.
Recap:
Very simple installation. I recommend leaving the ABS wiring in place in case you decide to add ABS back in the future. Just remove the ABS fuses.
FAQ:
Q1: Does anybody know if I could use those same part numbers for a four door? I'm assuming I can but wanted to check.
A1: If the car is 98-01, yes, the part numbers above work.
Q2: I have heard that using a ABS MC and ABS brake booster with these lines will cause the brakes not to work. Is this the case? I don't want to purchase a new brake booster and brake master cylinder. Last, will the RS lines bolt up or do they require custom fittings?
A2: Incorrect. I have a 98' ITR with the 98' RS pieces mentioned above, zero issues in 50+ track events and 26k. A 00' spec car will be 100% plug and play, no bending, custom fittings, etc.
Q3: So all I need is the prop valve and the 4 lines?
A3: Yes, all you need to purchase are the items listed above.
Q4: Does this apply to 94-97 too? instead get a 94-97 prop valve?
A4: With the exception of the 97' ITR, 94-97' and 98-01' generation three integras have different braking systems. Please follow the link at the top of this page for the None-R 94-97' ABS removal guide.
