Anyone know how much it weighs? Did the ABS delete, would love to trim more un-needed crap out of the car.

I know I had a request for that part awhile back, I never got around to pulling it out though.

ABS on a 4th gen is as gay as the day is long. Especially on cars where the breaks suck anyway.
