No worries mate! Keep us posted on how you get on!

I'm removing the ABS as i've found it to be unreliable and dangerous on my car, pedal feels spongy and locks up usually whenever it feels like it!
I can give my daily driver (Focus diesel estate) serious abuse brake wise with no fear, but the S2's mechanical system scares the sh** out of me under heavy braking!

Did some asking around and everyone said best thing was remove ABS, fit braided hose also.

I'm putting cossie 283mm disks on with 4x4 calipers too. I'm sticking with the rear drums purely as its a matter of cost at the moment for me.
