I have no ABS and I can handle it just fine. I deleted mine with a kit from SJM. I hate ABS, always have. Almost every car I've owned before this Camaro had no ABS as well. I don't miss it at all. Now I just need to do something about that ABS light in the dash that keeps staring me in the face.

The sjm kit I got came with instructions on how to turn the light out.

I've been driving without ABS on my 9" equipped Z for over a year. There have been a few "panic stop" situations. Frankly I feel more in control of the car and that I can stop faster without the ABS... Maybe because I learned how to drive and spent several years with my 4 wheel drum brake equipped '64 Chevelle. Granted my "ABS INOP" light has been on the entire time, I really don't even notice it anymore.

Good stuff guys, I think I'm going to get the SJM ABS delete/line lock kit here soon. You guys that have the kit, what all is involved in setting the pressure valve? Just set it-test it-set it-test it kinda thing?
