abs - any benefits without?
so my abs light came on and i have a pretty good idea why. last year when i installed my coilovers i neglected to fasten down the brake cables, basically they've been free banging on the suspension. now when i try to slam on the brakes the abs doesn't kick in and the tires squeel.
anyway, just curious if there are any benefits to not having abs enabled because i'm a bit lazy to do it now, rather fix it when winter comes.

Re: abs - any benefits without? (modulo_s)
The ABS system on the Type S is pretty good, and you probably do want it working right.
In an emergency on dry pavement, you will probably never be able to stop the car faster than the ABS will do it.
In the rain, ice or snow, it could be a different story but even if you're a very good brake manager in adverse weather, it could still help to know that when you screw it up the wheels will keep turning.
For whatever the old guy's opinion is worth, I would definitely want the ABS working right.
