Then you will need a proportioning valve anyway, from the reading I have done on e36's the master cylinder does some of the proportioning and the ABS module does more.  Unless this is another area where the crazy ti's are different.  A Wilwood proportioning valve is only 50-60$

Ive seen people run no abs with no proportioning valve without any issues.

[jc43089]

I'm sure people do, but the proportioning will be off.  I found the topic I was looking for, post 12 and 21 have the info.

I think tire sizes are much more of a safety issue on this build than brake bias...;-)

[Earl]

Hahaha

Also with 330 brakes you do not need different knuckles.  Just bolt on rotors and calipers/brackets.  Not trying to tell you what to do, just letting you know what I did.

[Earl]

I know=) I just dont like the massive size difference I would have front and rear.

[jc43089]

Very true, are you going to use a proportioning valve?

[Earl]

Not sure. I have even been tossing around the idea to toss out the master and booster and just installing a Tilton pedal box to further clean up the bay.

then close a stock hood on top of all that hard work.

[REKIII]

Earl has been working on a clear hood.

[rampelsauce]

Clear hood like in Grease?

[Earl]

Hood wont br completely stock

It has shaved washer fluid sprayers=)

[REKIII]

I can see that, if you kept the washers, you'd see the hoses going to them through the clear hood.  That wouldn't look very clean.

Tiny update. Just bought these and can't wait for them to come

[YoungCR]

Have fun putting those in! haha it'll be worth it though.

Old handles have to come out for paint so I got them at the perfect time=D

I have been trying to figure out what these are. Looks like a suspension part but I am not sure.

[Earl]
