Default Brake Line Question... need advise!

Hello!

Im more of a lurker on this website however I do need some advise. I am currently in progress of a complete wire tuck/shaved engine bay in my 01 S2000.

I have finished the passenger side and am working my way into the drivers side of the vehicle.

I have decided I am going to remove the ABS system (my mind is made up so lets not discuss how bad/good of an idea this is).

I need to know what others have done who have removed the ABS.


I have done a bit of reading, and understand there is a prop valve for the rear brakes. So I would assume the two rear brake linese go into the prop valve, and two come out of it?

Now, the front run directly out of the ABS unit...

What I am wondering..

There are two outlets out of the master cylinder, if I took the front outlet, split it into two, would that be fine for the two front brake lines? Or would I have to run another proporting valve with one inlet from the M/C and two outlets to the two front wheels?

Same idea for the rear, if I took one fitting from the master cylinder, split it into two, and fed those two into the proporting valve (Assuming the factory prop valve is a 2in and 2out, I havent looked yet).. Would that work?

Really appreciate the help, and maybe I will post up some of the madness I am into and let you guys have a look.

I suggest you buy some books on automotive brakes. Brakes are kind of important.
Also i believe on most vehicles the front brake tubing and rear brake tubing are of different inside diameters. Just something to think about.
