A poster is asking us about developing a kit that allows for eliminating the ABS/traction control system on his SC400.
The goal is to remove the heavy and complicated ABS system that interferes with response and track performance, and to replace that system with brake lines that go straight from the integrated brake proportioning valve inside the brake master cylinder to each brake caliper.
Existing threads on ABS/Trac removal:
And here is a thread on Club Lexus showing what all is actually deleted (over 40 lbs.) on an SC400 or SC300 and how easy it is. Users report brake performance boosts as well.
Would anyone be interested in Lextreme developing a kit like this with clear instructions and steel-braided brake lines at an affordable cost? Or maybe better yet a simple, affordable kit that shows owners how to eliminate ABS/TRAC using provided T's.
You might also find this video interesting from an SC400 owner .
Another question: What are the ramifications of doing this on an LS400?

Plumbing to remove Trac? (91' LS)
So, for whatever reason, Trac simply doesn't work reliably in racing conditions. It works for a while then gives up. It adds weight and isn't reliable, so I want to yank it, besides the fact that I put in a Supra Torsen in a SC300 4.27 diff :) ABS works great, and I want to keep that. I know...
