Well if the diff is welded or an aftermarket one i dont think the abs will function, i could be wrong but it dont work on mine and i'v a two-way..

I pulled the fuse on it in my S13 because used to frighten the shit out of me when it cut in. Should have really removed the whole ABS unit when i was at it to save a bit of weight...

This on an Omega ste??? Take it out, its dangerous

[Romo]

I wish i had abs sometimes in the road car, nothin worse then locking up when you need to jam on all of a sudden...

fuk it out in the tramp though!

with the abs in the car steve she wont kick out ..... the idea of abs is to make braking easyer in a road car so that the car wont just lock up when u JAM ON !!!

So in other words .... the abs wont allow ya to slide !
So pull it out !!!!

Not entirely true...............my omega always slid with abs.............but i once spun and smashed into a wall, where as if i had had pulled out the abs fuse id have stopped!!

ABS is a pain in most lowered cars i've driven, mostly BMW's.

With the lowered suspension i reckon the wheels weren't traveling up and down as much as standard spec, so over a bumpy road while braking from high speed, the wheels were 'skipping' so to speak. A couple of times this happened and the ABS thought there was something wrong and decided to take matters into its own hands, nearly putting me and the car over the hedge in the process.

It obviously has its benifits on a road car, but even on my road going Beemers i usually pull the fuse as the cons out weigh the pro's in my experiance. (with lowered cars anyway)
