I have seen some people get rid of their abs, BUT, in NY if your car came with ABS and you remove it it can potentially fail inspection.
I am all for getting rid of abs, it can be a pain as much as it can be a blessing, it all depends on if you know how to drive a vehicle without ABS and be able to stop your car if you are going to get into an accident.
Vehicles with abs actually take longer to stop than a car without it. ABS is use d to control the vehicle diring a sudden/hard braking situation so that you are able to steer the car instead of having the brakes lock up and just slide regardless of steering position.
If you know how to drive your car without ABS, how to stop in the case of an accident and know how your car is going to react when you slam the brakes, then remove the ABS, if you have never driven a car without abs, don't know how the car is going to react, are a new driver or are prone to accidents, then leave it in.
My GSR is the first car I have ever owned with ABS and I hate it, but it is a pain to remove it because you have to put in all new brake lines, and then remove the abs light.
It all depends on what you want to do, and how you are going to drive the car.
If all you ant to get rid of it is because it is ugly, then do what we all do when we are faced with such a situation with an ugly bitch, throw a bag over her head.
