Thread: ABS Delete

Unplug the sensor at the hub, pull the abs and trac lights out of the dash. Boom 100% no abs or trac control with no annoying lights.

ABS did not assist me in making me stop my car better. I don't want anything working my brakes to help me stop faster. I have make panic stops with ABS and I slid out of control. I have never liked ABS in any vehicle I have driven.
I drove a 1983 Old Toronado well over 200k miles and never had a problem stopping that tank of a car. No ABS in that old car.
I disabled the ABS and have been driving without it for 90,000 miles in my 40th anniv GP without any more issues in making a panic stop. I have complete control over the car and don't have to rely on the ABS system to help me stop the car. Good 18" tires of course help in stopping the car.
All this talk about ABS being necessary to help you stop faster with more control is not correct. ABS may indeed help in a completely stock setup, but with oversized brakes and tires, it is not needed.
And what is all this talk about being held liable in an accident if it is determined that you have disabled your ABS system? And face fines? I have run this by people who have been in the auto industry all their lives and they have never heard of this happening.

i guess you enjoy the very stiff steering, that part i cant stand if the abs light is on....


in your case, its best you check your hubs for play every now and then, cause wheels have fallen off these cars due to blown hubs.

some how i bet a 100 dollar fix would fix your brakes, sounds like the ebcm is bad. a scan at a shop will tell for sure.

ive also never heard of being sued for not having working abs......i can pass inspection here with a abs light on. so who ya gonna sue? the state? they just said its ok when i passed.

I do miss my magnasteer scotty......dont remind me
