I like ABS but after replacing the pump, control unit, sensors (with used sensors), and cleaning the rings on the hubs, it is still in-op. I have some more used sensors to try out before pulling the rest of my hair out, but I am starting to lean towards removing my ABS. I really dont want to flat-spot a set of nice tires, but as hard as I was on the brakes at the track, I didn't get into any lockup even on my all-seasons. So im on the fence about keeping/removing the ABS. If I can get it to work this spring, then I will re-locate the pump to behind the passenger side strut tower for some better weight distribution.

Learn to put just the right amount of pressure on your brakes while braking hard. A good way to do this, drive with out cruise control for a long time. I never use crusie control, you'll get muscle memory of where say, "60mph is" and your foot will auto adjust for going up and down hills. Sounds stupid, but it works. My ABS is all sorts of fucked up, and likes to kick on and off on it's own. too bad I can't just disconnect the power to the damn thing. Or remove it and put in T fittings.

I actually received it with my euro bumper purchase so I don't know how much it would cost or how rare it is in the US (all US cars had AC) I did have to order a new Heater control plate as the radio and heat controls reverse (that was 65 bucks) ... I am looking forward to having the cubby as well.
That looks awesome.
Shaved bay:P lol
I need to source some.
