Thread: Some Questions About ABS

deleted

Dude let me tell you this when I used to live in NY I had a 93 SE-R with that ABS crap on it and that **** almost killed me in the snow man. I was going down a very slight hill and about 60 ish feet before the stop sign there was a patch of snow. Anyways i started to brake for the stop sign and because of the snow the abs came on and i couldn't stop for the sign and a garbage truck barely missed me. I had to used the E-brake and turn the car sideways in the intersection to avoid the truck taking me out. Take that BS ABS off asap man.

Even the best ABS system will perform poorly in the snow compared with a non-ABS car. In snow, you want the wheels to lock up. This eventually creates a buildup of snow in front of the tires which helps stop the car much quicker once it builds than if you were limit braking (ABS).

I kinda have to disagree with that because even my aunt's ****ty ass 02 Chevy Malibu's ABS was way better than my B13 was. My cousins M3 is awesome BTW.

the 2 channel abs in the B13 is crap compared to any other car with a 4 channel abs system. i would not run a B13 with the stock ABS crap.

keo thanks so much for starting this tread. i guess the next thing to do is take the system off....who is familiar on how to take off the system? thanks!!...keo good seeing bro.

this is how you disable ABS and it should cost $200

Yah see, that doesn't make any sense as a disagreement to my statement.


As for your question Char about removing the ABS completely, I don't think it would make much difference as far as brake performance goes. I don't know for sure, but that's my guess. Brake system hydraulics are simple. If you can lock up the tires you've got a braking system that will perform just as good as any other.
