Abs makes your braking distance longer but gives you steering control when the wheels lock, for this reason i do away with it beacuse of this and the fact it adds more weight, more lines and more wiring and more head ache........
I use braided lines, groved dicscs and good pads ebc on the road and carbon loraine for track, the above is more than enough for me, even a simple flush of the brake system with new fluid and fast road pads you will notice a difference.

some cars just need to click the h-break up one and it disables it that or pull the fuse for it,

If its a road car I'd keep it. No reason to get rid of it. true that most of the time its a waste, but when you need it, you need it!! Get me?!
