Default Getting rid of my ABS question??

I have a 98 Z28 and was wondering about roughly how much it would cost a shop to remove the ABS piping and to delete the ABS, brake, and traction control codes I have to look at whenever I drive it?

You'd still need to recode the ECU or disable the light on the dash, no? Just removing the ABS unit itself will continue to throw an error I would think.

Well, ask a shop. Prices could vary wildly. The internet does not have all the answers.

Not many shops are willing to remove safety equipment, you may find a couple older threads about the early 98's being able to just ground out a couple wires to get rid of the lights but the newer ones you have to remove the lights in the dash. as for removing the ABS pump and lines look at SJM manufacturing, they offer a abs delete kit and you'll just need someone that can flare a couple brake lines to install.
