having snapped or removed belts is not the same as having the abs removed properly!!!!!

I binned my ABS as it's shockingly bad. Best thing I did.

As per addiction, removing the belts only is not removing the ABS.

Once you have binned the ABS properly you will never look back. The feel is so much better than with it on. Saying that though as our Fiesta is used on the road a fair bit it won't be being removed.

you basically, take off you abs bellows, swap over to the non abs master cylinder and make up some brake pipes to join up to the others at the inner wings, there shud be the regulator whatsit to make sure the rears get less pressure too to save you gettin too much braking to rear and locking up or swapping ends
