Default Much differance between manual brakes and abs?
Thinking about getting rid of my abs and going with one of billingsly's abs delete blocks. How much differance is there in daily driving with the manual brakes compared to ABS? Thanks for any input.

Good question! I already bought this set-up but it's not installed yet.

I think daily driving is horrible with the manual setup, but it is 10-15# lighter I hear!

BTW I mean no power booster. If you keep the power booster but ditch the ABS its not that bad.

Manual brakes would suck on the street. It takes a lot to get the car stopped going down the track with them.
