ABS delete kit??

Just thought I would post this section from the FSM
With this and the ABS system potentially preventing flat spots in expensive race tires in high traction dry conditions without sacrificing braking performance, I have decided against removing the ABS system on my car.
I think I may try to eliminate the brake booster setup though and may relocate the ABS solenoids/ECU out of the engine bay and to the back of the car to transfer some much needed weight bias rearward.

Top components such as Brembo brakes, EBD and sports ABS improve braking power and braking stability.
SPORTS ABS
• 4-wheel independent control optimizes the brake force to each wheel to achieve a balance of improved braking force and braking stability.
• A steering angular velocity sensor was added to monitor the steering angle status. Braking force is altered in response to the steering status to improve the quality of steering when braking in corners.
• The steering angular velocity sensor, lateral G-sensor and longitudinal G-sensor accurately monitor driving conditions and optimize ABS control to match the specific driving conditions.
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution system)
• Rear brake power is electronically controlled to optimize performance in accordance with road and load conditions and to ensure optimal distribution of braking force between the front and rear brakes.
• Rear brake fluid pressure control employs a brake modulator hydraulic unit solenoid valve that made it possible to eliminate the pressure control valves (proportioning valves).
• Effective use of rear wheel brake force reduces temperature build-up in the front brakes under hard braking conditions.
• Independent control of the left and right rear brakes when braking during cornering achieves a balance of improved vehicle stability and braking force.

ordered a master cylinder off of ebay per the part numbers off of the abs delete thread. I did not receive the "adapter valves" with mine that come off the two bottom ports. Do you know if I can just source a reducer to complete my kit or are they some sort of special valve?

On second look from the previous supplied part numbers those adapters are actually the proportioning vavles...I think. part number MR249607 ?

At this point I've driven the car quite a bit and have had no issues. I want to test to see if I have rear lockup at varying road conditions, that aside it works perfectly.

I pulled the solenoid assembly to relocate it and it is surprisingly light. Can't be over 6-7 pounds.
Just for anybody considering the weight advantage vs. other advantages on something other then a drag car.
Either way though, that 6-7 pounds is heading to the trunk area...

if the abs light comes on with the delete kit, couldn't you just clear that code causing the light to come on, or pull what ever bulb light??? also is STM the only company that offers this abs delete kit??? i personally am not concerned about what little weight reduction is involved in the switch, rather im more concrned with cleaning up the engine bay, so with that being said is there a way to relocate all that clutter of abs mess in the engine bay?
