ABS is for people who can’t do more than basic driving just like traction control… though I can agree most of the time people delete it because everyone else does. > > If you simply use your car to get from point A to point B then ABS is fine, most people don’t know how to deal with tires locking up and that’s why ABS was invented and it has it’s place.

But that does not mean you do not need it. I have fucked with my ABS in my S13 on rainny days with bald rears. The ABS (for a 93) works phenomenal. I was actually super surprised. When you get put into a fucked up situation and your instinct at first is ALWAYS slamming on the brakes. You’ll smile when you have ABS. Also, if you have good brakes and tires…i’m sorry, but you should NEVER have you ABS activate. As for race cars. That is highly debatable. I’m not gonna argue about it and ruin a bomb thread. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rb/122445)._
