No I like abs and reconise its value don't disable it. I only disable what is designed to be switchable buy the manufacter. Even with my tcs/btcs of I am told some elements of system are still active and they only way to deactivate this to remove the abs/tcs fuse thus losing both! I don't drive my car in such a irractic and out of balance manner I have yet to had these feature cut in.
I am comfortable driving vehicles without abs and I have been familar with cadence braking long b4 I became a member of roadar. I didnt drive abs equiped vehicles for the first 3 years of my driving career. I have since driven friends/gfs non abs vehicles and my partners first two cars where 97 fiesta and 95 polo both of which ha no abs electronic aids. I once had some cut in front of me on the approach to a roundabout on multi lane carriageway and if I hadn't be able to use cadence braking I would most likely of collided with the rear of that vehicle. Also I had a abs'sd volvo s40 2.0 sport and traded it in for a pre facelift non abs 1.8 zetec focus for 4 months 13k and I was able to adapt and not get myself into any sitautions.
My main gripe with the standard focus mk1 brakes are the front disks abs or not are quiet small and suffer from fade at multilane (60+) speeds where as the ST has heavy duty 300mm discs on the front I think they are 3.5 ton transit derived (They stop less than 1300kg of focus very well indeed) and RS 280mm discs on the back further help on my example by ap disc and pads alround.
