Default Like the manual adjustable ones? You'll have to get rid of the ABS pump (meaning ABS, EDL, ESP)..

then you can slap one on there. The ones I've seen are on track cars only. Haven't heard of an install after the ABS pump

Our 5.x ABS is self-proportioning F:R, pretty sophisticated.

Default yeah, I would think it would screw it up. Hence the big brake front only conversions

Best to get rid of the system for racing - which is pretty easy to do anyway, and put a manual proportioner which is pretty difficult to get it right - like after locking up the rear a few times.

Default Ya know, I'd probaby keep it.

I like the tilton dual master w. dial proportioning. But the car (any modern Audi) is so freakin' heavy that it is not a real track competitor. Safer just to keep the stock rig, so that your SO doesn't flatspot the tires or do a 70 mph deathspin in the rain.
