Just pull/order the components from a non-ABS MKIII... it'll be easier, should you need it, to repair in the future. Otherwise get an adjustable proportioning valve and tune it for the proper bias.
I agree that it's a crap idea. I've known only one person who tried this in the past because: dedicated DRIFTO! mobile. Tossing out the quicker stopping times and greatly improved breaking ability on low traction surfaces is a waste. Yes, my grandfather got by without it as well, but the minute it came out he couldn't bad mouth non-ABS vehicles enough... I'd never hear the end of it when he got in one of my old cars with me. The argument that just because prehistoric man hunted with sharpened sticks so should we is pretty ass backward. Smoke signals < telephone < pager < email < cell phone I can see no way in which going backward in this timeline is BETTER either. Hell the thing people like to bitch about the most, emissions controls, has advanced to the point that they all offer significant benefits now: better mileage, gas actually stays in your fuel tank versus evaporating out through the gas cap, PCV helps prevent oil contamination and caustic elements from attacking the bottom end, EGR give us greatly reduced cylinder temps raising the ceiling on just how much we can wring out of the engine.... and so on.
So, to anyone who's "one of those" on here... fine, your car, your dollar and your life.. I don't want anyone preaching it like gospel (I know you're not Icey... Just trying to stay ahead of the flood of this stuff which tends to come this time of year, every year).
