Deleting ABS
Deleting ABS Hey all. My ABS hasnt worked correctly ever since I put staggered tires (same diameter, just different widths) on my car a few years back. Ever since then everytime I would hit the brakes especially over 70mph the ABS would kick in and pedal would fight me. Last season I did a brembo brake swap for the front brakes and I literally almost crashed on the test drive. The abs wouldnt stop fighting me even at a crawl, so much so that I pulled the fuses. So onto my question. Whats the difference from me pulling the fuse which technically deletes the ABS or buying a kit from SJM? My car has had the fuses pulled for a year now.
I would love to be able to fix the problem, but from what ive read about people having all sorts of problems after they change tires or rear ends I may just have to delete it. So again, why is the kit necessary? Is it a brake biasing thing? Mine seem to be fine.

The kit isn't necessary. Its just nice to have because it gets rid of the weight of the abs block and also makes it look cleaner. Plus extra engine bay space is always nice. Also its a good thing to have an adjustable proportioning valve for guys with skinnies and fatties. The last thing is its also easier to bleed your brakes without the abs block.
but like I said the kit isn't necessary. Pulling the fuse is basically the same thing.

Was posted here on the forum a little while ago... I forget who posted it though. But here is what you do,
The connector on top of the abs module under the hood, pull the light green & yellow/black wires out, snip them and ground them. That will turn the abs light off, and the brake light off.

The ABS block controls the brake bias. If you remove it, or pull the fuse, there is no control over brake bias. It is HIGHLY recommended that one is used when removing abs.
Staggered width tires will not cause abs issues, different diameters will. You have some other issue preventing your abs from working correctly.

Verdad Gallardo If you eliminate your ABS i would suggest putting in a manual proportioning valve. But if you ground those wires stated above, The ABS and Brake light will not come on. Yes, the Brake light will still come on when you pull the ebrake up and have it engaged.
I did the same thing in my truck. The ABS module was bad (very common on my model) so I pulled the fuse. I had no problem during normal braking, but under heavy braking they would all lock up (obviously). I drove it like that for about a year before I finally replaced the module.
