Some Chase Bays Product Development Input needed! (Brake lines)

I'll keep this short and to the point. We're in the development stages of 10+ Chase Bays products for the EVO chassis. One thing we are stumped on is proportioning valve placement. We could put it near the e-brake, under the dash, by the shifter, under the radio, by the fusebox on the bottom side of the side....anywhere around there. Just post your ideas, and where YOU would want it if you purchased our kit. We can always make 2 or 3 options.

Visual help...

The Proportioning valve. Note the adjustment knob...

Also for ABS delete. Yes, your car will be faster with all those ABS related items gone. 40 or 50 lbs if I had to guess from handling it.

I've been waiting for this. All my honda buddies run your harnesses, they are TOP NOTCH. Can't wait to see pics

BTW, I say put it under the dash but still accessible without too much trouble. It should be hidden so people won't start turning the knob and possibly killing you in the process.

Besides the delete of the ABS the main reason for it is because of a booster less master cylinder. You can fine tune your brakes to stop close to the same as when you had a booster.
