If you have to ask, it's probably not for you..
I myself am not interested, but as long as you could toggle the ABS on or off, there might be some interest in it..

There are situations and applications where abs is more of a problem than a help
abs is honestly designed to numb driving and give the average person control over the car in "sticky situations"
all it does is pulses the brakes for you to keep them from locking up.
Some hate abs and want it gone so I'm offering a way to do so.
When racing the car abs can become a hazard.
As in sc alero's case when he goes to the track, he runs drag radials on the front and they are smaller than his rear tires
when he steps on the brakes after a run the car sees the front wheels moving faster than the rear so it pulses the abs making it really hard for him to slow the car down. obviously with no abs the car would stop normal.
It is also possible to stop a car in less distence without abs if you know what your doing.
honestly for the average person/driver abs is a good thing.
but for those where its a burdon I have a way to totally get rid of it
I could come up with a way to switch it on or off but what I'm offering now is elimination
