Evening all,

Just curious... Im currently re-shelling my RX ek9 into a facelift shell. My old car had abs but the new shell doesn't and Im currently on the fence as to whether I should convert system and keep abs or just live without it.

Thoughts?
 
Personally I found removing the abs on mine made me feel more confident on the brakes as you have more feel :nice: put in a bias valve so you can have a play with the balance.

How's th Toda manifold btw?
 
As above. I struggled on the brakes with abs in the system. Much better feel without

Thanks for the replies lads, I've got some wilwood 4 pots going on too, my only thought towards keeping it was that it might be easier to lock up? Or does the extra braking power give you more feel?

Toda still sat in a pile parts dude! Got the engine out of the old car on Friday and spent yesterday grinding the **** off ready for a coat of paint. Will all be back together in the next few weeks I hope. ☺️
 
I'm still running ABS and don't have a problem BUT ive never drove one without so can't really comment if it's better unfortunately.
 
Just removed my ABS...hoping it will still pass NCT (MOT)
