With the ABS gone, your leg is the only thing controlling wheel lockup. If that's not a responsibility you (and I mean the general you here) want, retain your ABS. It's fairly easy to learn the lockup threshold by doing some decelerations on highway off-ramps or on back roads. You want to feel comfortable applying the maximum pressure to the pedal without locking the wheels (this is threshold braking).

Hmmm, so having the ABS is kinda worthless as it doesn't do what it's suppose to when it's suppose to. But removing it requires caution as if you dont know your braking points, you may cause yourself a mischief? Is the ABS on the US models the same as the JDM ABS? My ABS actually saved me from rear ending someone. Tho a 4 wheeler then plowed into my rear. But I was happy for the ABS then. I have never circuit raced my car or had a long street race, so constant use of my brakes has not happened as of yet. Is this an 'all round' kind of mod for all seasons - wet/dry - dd/race?
Thanx for all the info
