ABS sucks.....
Anyone else think the ABS is too sensitive? On a bumpy course getting on the brakes hard for a corner the stupid ABS kicks in and ruins my weight balance and screws up my line. Is there a fuse to pull to shut it off or anything. ABS sucks.

abs is crap. not sure if you can just pull the fuse but if really wanted you could unplugged a wheel sensor it would disarm the system and you would still have full braking. The brake light would come in the dash thats all. if there was a problem with say a wheel sensor the computer turns the light on and disarms the system so i can't see that if you un plugged it it would be any different.

i pullm my fuse all the time to disable the abs. Car stops better ImO but the slightest turn of the wheel while braking hardf and my car would spin around. EVERYTIME on command scary stuff. I disabled mine cause when i went down to smaller wheels the abs got way too sensetive.
