It over complicated the process and at the time I didn't see any need for ABS. My commute was country roads and I didn't worry about having to constantly hit my brakes. Now I commute two hours a day for work and often get stuck in 30-45 minutes of bumper to bumper rush hour with times of excessive rain as well. This all leads me to feeling that ABS is a fail safe worth having to prevent my wheels from locking up. Its really hard to get over that learned response of quickly stomping on the brake pedal when in an emergency situation, which would otherwise be modulated by the ABS but instead leads my tires to all four lock up. Only has happened twice but its' pretty scary.

Would be perfect for a drift car though.
Hmmm okay! I didn't realize that bleeding abs module will be PITA. Well i see this section is pretty dead already and all i see its mostly you visiting. With you moving on not sure who will be up here.

On a side note, Are there any other forums that are active?
