Install an adjustable rear brake proportioning valve.

Anybody familiar with this system? Prices look much more reasonable. What I don't understand is if this is stock abs with FW that allows on the fly adjustability just like Bosch motorsport unit, or am I missing something..

I’ve actually started to go down this road. I’ve already retrofitted ABS Hubs and ABS banana arms. It’ll be the last thing I do because it’s the least important. I’m allergic to the brakes anyway. They give me hives.

The early boxster ABS swap is not a big deal for a track car - you can put the ABS unit inside the cockpit and replumb the break lines.
It has to be a Boxster that does NOT have stability control. That way the pump is the entire unit with built in controller. ABS wheel hubs are easy to find and most of the 87+ spindles have the sensor mount even if you don't have ABS.
Boxster ABS is way better than 951 ABS.

The only chassis I have owned with ABS were two 89 944 base models. Non of my 85.5, 86, or 87 chassis cars have had them. Not even the banana arms are drilled for the 87 cars. Never owned 88 year model. Maybe Luis can give some insight on what he has come across during his grim reaper years.

I did email 3DM - referenced with links above by Voith. They seem to think it would be straightforward as long as the hubs and banana arms are able to take the sensors. I’m thinking about it.

Great, keep us updated. I'd love that rotary **** adjustability.

Any update with the MK60?
