Default ABS help

Would I notice any difference in daily driving if I disconnected it. It get really annoying sometimes, because I like to use my brakes. When I go over small bupms I can feel it kicking in and on level ground too. Today it kicked in on a stop on level pavement, it was a fast stop from about 50 but not so hard that it made the stuff in the seats shift around. Do I need to get it ckecked or should I just disconnect it. Or is it some way that I could put it on a switch
BTW: this is on an SUV

You should disconnect it with the main fuse & drive it. Then see how it drives & wheel lock-up/hop or pull, bet 'ya hook it back up.

I dont think I can take much more of the crazy drivers in Houston cutting me off, me having to get on the brakes and ABS kicking in and the brake peadal goes damn near to the floor. If its a dip in the road and I have to brake, well im **** outta luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
