Default get rid of abs

Hi im getting an rs turbo rolling shell next month and it still has abs in the bay with gearbox.
Should i get rid or keep? When i put my efi engine in i took all abs off as had snapped belts but this is all working? Not sure wat i wanna do. Any reason to get rid?

Better brake pedal feel and stronger brakes I got rid of mine and its one of the best things I've done.

Definitely get rid. Remove the rear brake compensator as well and use an adjustable brake bias valve instead

I've taken my compensators off the rear and am using the compensators on the innerwing like the base models used is this a good method or will my brakes be better if I got a bias valve?
