Default ABS system

Had a conversation with S~Factor about it and we got to the conclusion... how many times We have heard it working? I only heard the system working 3-4 times during winter and thats it...

question is...

if I remove the whole ABS system... how I do to keep the light off in the dashboard?

I know the ABS light will come on...


reason why we or I want to remove it is for a nice tucked and clean engine bay...

The S doesn't stutter the brakes as much as other cars. The ABS will save your butt at a full stop. It probably helps you more than you think.

Mmmm interesting... maybe I can relocate the system off the engine bay?

I personally didn't like the wire tuck or clean engine bay (never found it necessary) till I saw S~factors S2K engine bay... and its something I can do myself so im going for it

If you DD the car I highly suggest leaving the abs in. The car does feel a lot different under heavy breaking with out abs and like stated above it could save your ass in a tricky situation.

abs light is on due to a bad sensor I think

I now drive it slow as hell

even with 225f 255r re-01's I lock up without a problem with the hawk hp+ pads if pressure is applied anything but very very smooth.

Try unplugging the wiring on the abs module in the engine bay (or the fuse) and drive around like you normally drive for a week with it. If you don't notice a difference... then... well... you know the answer.
