Hi guys,

Another question that poped in my head the other night!

I have no ABS on my car....due to the fact that it kept locking on of the rear wheels.

What's your opinion....should I put back my ABS brakes or shall I remain like this??

So...ABS or NON ABS??

Well if it was locking rear wheels it was faulty any way... I would just bin it

Abs just stops your brakes from locking on heavy braking so you still can steer it got nothing to do with braking force....

If you plan on running big power with according to your other thread  your going to need bigger brakes so if you dont have so already so no it should matter ..as its just to stop it locking up under heavy braking ..

I just don't know how that looks in Romania but in UK when you removing abs you have to get rid of everything... pump wiring sensors etc or it'll fail mot... you have to make it look like there was no abs...

Had ABS for 7 days on mine, it all went in the bin after I couldn't stop in the wet. Likely broke or those 8 pots were just too powerful, but if you have gritty crappy slippy b roads then get rid. Nearly put myself through the windscreen the first time without it (belt on!)

Like others have said, if you remove it you should remove it all and make sure bulbs out of the dash too Wink if you have roll cage etc... then cars usually are tested as race car thus enabling them to give no fucks about ABS being removed.

yeah if you leave the pump and everything in situ it does have a slight restriction on braking with fuse dis-connected
so best off ditching the lot and fitting single brake proportioning valve in place of the twin
but they are hard to get hold of now think ive only got one left

don't waste your money running 4 pot rears bogdan
just stick to the stock calipers but run carbotech rear pads that's all you need
or try run a slightly larger disc that's enough to give you plenty of rear stopping power

Standard wheel/brake set up?
Could just be that you've maintained yours and it works as it should.

I'm the same in the fiesta, escort, golf and... Vitara though, abs too pro-active for my driving style or my foot is weighted with 1 ton of lead. I don't go through discs/brake pads like there's no tomorrow though, get just over the average millage Shocked

For road use I'd have ABS every time..
Accidents happen real quick and you don't think, you just hit the brakes and if you skid you become part of the accident.. ABS gives you a chance to avoid it..
May be different for track as you're thinking ahead and should be ready for the skid when it happens..  Smile
