Hi guys. Just wondered if anyone knows of an ABS removal guide? Looking to remove the ABS on my mates S2 to fit the rear disc conversion. Cheers fellas

Do a search there is millions of threads on ABS removal. Easy enough to do 
grey RS, i think the majority would agree with you there. Ive fitted them to my car and done about 2 miles since so i can't comment, but being as mines a hairdressers car and quite arse heavy i doubt ill have problems.
Above all though, i doubt i would fit them again

The general consensus is you must put a restriction in the line on the rears, but Tim hasn't on his and you must have seen him on track in his grey s2 at some point - didn't seem to have any problems lol!

Nah you'll need them still, they split the pipes up so you have a pipe for each brake
Removing the rear load valves on the wishbones is a good move though
