In this video I'll guide you on a step by step process to install the Science of Speed (SOS) 2000+ NSX ABS upgrade kit. The 1991-1999 NSX comes from the factory with a giant, heavy, and antiquated Anti-Lock Braking System that is prone to failure, leaking, and you will get an annoying ABS pump noise every few seconds. Mine was already failing when I purchased my NSX. SOS sells an upgrade kit that updates the ABS to the one found in the factory OEM Honda/Acura 00-05 NSXs. Brakes are a critical part of your vehicles safety system though, so please be warned that this video is for educational purposes only and any brake jobs should only be done by trained professionals! Use this video at your own risk.
