ABS to Non-ABS anyone attempted this???

I have a question on this ... My ABS hasn't been working since I got the car. Lately I've been thinking of just taking it out since I'm doing a wire tuck anyway. I haven't used it so I'm not going to feel the difference anyway. Also plan on upgrading the brake system. Is there a DIY on how to delete the ABS? I was told by someone I might have to replace the brake lines and some other stuff with one of a car that didn't come with ABS. Not sure how true that is though because if it hasn't been working why do I need to do all that extra work? Haven't started researching it.

I did but a mechanic told me if i take the module out then its not going to run correctly ... not sure why (should have asked him) ... He said if I want to take that module out then I'd have to get brake lines from a non abs car

From what I compare between the EX trim and LX trim you'd have to change the front lines.....but im not to positive it been awhile......on that you should take a look for yourself n hondaautomotiveparts

i turned my abs off by unplugging the module after upgrading brakes. if you have all 4 disc brakes you should be fine. ive only had one time where my wheels locked up.. i was going down a steeeep hill while it was wet. just gotta remember to pump the brakes once they lock up.

I did the same thing when I lost a sensor and have never looked back as I consider ABS in MOST cars and especially Honda's to be extremely intrusive during any inclimate weather (take your pick of snow or rain)
