from what i know, abs actually does stand for anti braking system, but they call it anti lock brakes so not to confuse people into thinking they wont be able to stop.

and if it's commonly refered to as anti lock braking system why would you call it anything different?

LMAO!


I know how to remove the system and what needs to be replaced. I am more interested in hearing peoples post removal probs/feeback.

like I have said before I HATE abs. I learned to drive in a 80 Caddy (non abs) in the midwest which means TONS of snow, I also have a really bad habit is driving around for HOURS in the snow playin biggrin.gif LOL last year I pulled almost a 2 block slide sideways down a 4lane oneway in the celi! it was badass! was doin aprox 60-70 mph and yes it was intentional... unforantly that was the same nite I TRASHED my front lip tryin to be a snow plow... but hell it was fun and and a easy fix.

I however dont want the ABS and I also dont want this thread to turn into a "well thats a stupid idea" type of thing, I personally perfer driving cars with no ABS because its easier to control the car IMO (yours may differ and thats perfectly fine), there are plenty of ways to correct the car even if your locked up if your accustom to that style of driving, which I am.

So if anyone has any useful info to offer please do wink.gif

Thanks

LOL, I see what you're talking about... You are a Davenport stunt driver. That's cool. I can see how ABS would interfere with your stunts. If I were out all day doing 360s and 720s I probably would hate ABS too. Good luck with your conversion.

ABS = Antiblockiersystem

Invented by our friends in Germany. Roughly translated, it's Anti-Skid system.

And for road use, I'd keep it personally.
