It's located right on the driver's side of the firewall. It's a silver piece with 4 or 6 hard brake lines coming out.

Right behind the intake manifold on the firewall.... looks like a big aluminium spider with all those lines coming out (6 lines for non-ABS cars, 4 lines for ABS cars) and yes I know spiders have 8 legs.

totally different shapes in many ways... are you trying a 4 wheel disk conversion... I just did one - I used a USDM 99-00 Si prop valve or you can go for a EK CTR JDM prop valve. If you are ghetto you can tee off the 99-00 SiR CDM prop valve, cuz the law of fluids says the two forces will equalize and provide exactly equal pressure to both left and right sides.

Mine looks exactly like stock - no different at all. I got mine from someplace in the states, I forget what the name of the place was. It cost me $120 or so
