Hi, everyone, I'm working on a partial tuck on my engine bay, and i want to remove all the ABS components. I'll have the motor out this winter, so I'll have plenty of room to work. Is it as simple as removing the actuator and all hard lines and capping everything off? Or will I need components from a non-ABS car?
Any input would be very helpful. -------------------- |

you will need a new non-abs master cylinder and about 5-6 new lines. All the lines that are different are about $80 from the dealer.

So an unusual circumstance came up and I decided to remove my non-working ABS today. I wanted to do this for years now..
good ol OEM lines, nice perfect fit every time so much more room over there now. That's were the oil filter relocation is going to go total cost, about $80 + a non-ABS master cylinder. -------------------- |

Exactly where I'm mounting my remote filter too.
I hope it's as easy as you make it look. -------------------- |

Honestly, i think its safer to have abs. I saw a video of the difference between abs and no abs. But then again atleast you have more space. Once you put in the new master cylinder tho, make sure u fill with enuf brake fluid and bleed the brakes just so that all the air gets out..
p.s Also bench bleed the master cylinder -------------------- One BAD ASS CAR!!!
