Did you install this after the ABS unit? I was wondering about the ABS unit canceling out the valve.

Actually, I have never tested it with ABS unit. I have removed it. But the valve is supposedly installed before the ABS.

Just one valve before it splits to FL and FR?

Would make sense to put it there. Before the split.
My issue, my ride is still a Street Car, more so than track. I am unsure if I want to loose the ABS unit. I assume if I take out the ABS, then the Stability control wouldn't work also.

Is that assumption correct?

That's correct. One valve before the split.

Yup, removing ABS also eliminate the Stability control.

I was under the impression that our brake circuits were FR&RL and FL&RR. How were you able to put it just on the front circuit with just one valve??
