WHO has removed thier ABS from thier FD

Has anyone removed the abs setup from thier fd and if so how did they do it and did it make a big difference. this week i saw one that was removed but i didnt get to drive the car. owner says it felt awsome and that ABS is for pussies. LOL anyways any input will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

It's not going to feel any different until you brake hard enough to lock a wheel. Then you get to spend time learning to threshold brake instead of just mashing the pedal and steering.

IMO, the owner you talked to is a dipshit. ABS isn't for pussies and I would never consider removing it on a car that regularly saw street duty.

It has been done before and if you search in the 3rd gen section there is a great post that gives you every detail about how to do it. I dont know how the car will perform I havent got mine back on the road yet but when it does it wont have a ABS. I think the post also has a manual steering converion, I just cant remember the guys name.
