My solution is two part.

Either delete ABS using our ABS delete kits and never have to worry about ABS issues again.

OR

If you want to keep ABS for some reason...See if someone on this board who has our ABS delete kit is willing to sell you their ABS controller.

Good luck!

That's not a stupid question at all. It does completely delete the ABS controller AND bracket.

The way your car drives normally, removing ABS is not going to change it. Actually using our kits gives you the ability to manually adjust brake bias using the adjustable proportioning valve which can help control braking now having the ability to dial or tune your bias.

When you felt your brake pedal pulse...this was your ABS activating (more times than not...probably when you didn't want it to activate)...obviously you wouldn't have this occur.

For general readers who may rely on ABS, if your car is stock, I'd tell you to leave it alone as it is engineered to work with your OEM STOCK car and can help. As described by the original reader, if its not operating correctly, it can be a costly fix. If its important to you, than fix it. If you've modified your braking system, changed weight distribution, changed wheels, tires etc...Your ABS system is configured for the OEM setup and may not be tuned correctly for your car...so it can be less efficient in braking correctly.
