Default Disable ABS??

I don't care for how my car handles with ABS.

Is there an easy way for me to disable the ABS system? something simple like pulling a fuse or connector? ?

Why would you not like ABS?

It has saved countless lives.

Pull the fuse for the ABS in the underhood fuse box. You will then have conventional brakes. I personally do not recommend this.

Yeah dude, my car doesn't have ABS, and I wish it did. Last winter in the snow, an old woman was stopped in front of me, and I almost hit her because i just slid. I turned the wheel, and smacked one of those parking blocks, and snapped an axle. Thats better than what could have happened. ABS

It does give you a shitty feeling, but I would rather have that than smashed into something.

Keep it

Maybe get bigger/better brakes? It will stop you faster and you wont have to slam the pedal down and have abs kick in.

If he's already able to activate ABS with the current setup, upgraded brakes will not help the situation.

Yes, those will help.

No if ABS is activating than hes losing traction and with bigger/stronger brakes hed lose traction faster.

Dont get rid of ABS because you "hate" the feeling. If youre a safe driver it should only be on rare occasions that it gets used anyways. If its activating on a daily basis you should learn how to drive safer. And yes, better tires will help braking too.
