this has been done by several members on here, and also i believe there has been a write-up for quite some time. i'll be doing mine as soon as my friend takes them off his ep3.

probably, but i would think an alignment would be required any time you do something to the suspension that changes/alters mounting points and such. 'specially if you can't/don't make refererence marks before hand...

YES, anytime a suspension componet is changed the alignment should be checked

Rep Power: 403 you dont need to change anything else. just swap out the brakes and the ebrake line...
i got thet 5 lug type S set up. so i decided to change the master cylinder to a type S also... didn't change any valves, it works perfectly, no problems..

The proportioning valve is a must but no idea how it would work without ABS no one that I know on this forum has actualy done the swap on an LX and there is nothing concrete posted about it.
If I'm wrong and someone is done it please post detail info before I go running out and get all the parts for it.
