Well I thought I'd offer my 2 cents on the issue. I like ABS. My first two cars didn't have it, and I learned how to modulated brake pressure to keep from sliding, but the thing is a computer can do it so much faster than a person can, and has exact measurements while humans have to do it by feel. Consistency is the advantage here. Plus, I feel like taking ABS out of the car and putting conventional in sort of takes away from the specialty of the car, and realistically there's not that many things that go wrong with the ABS on the early cars. Usually if you don't ignore the problems until the pump seizes they work very well, and very reliably. I've read all the posts on brake swap to conventional and a lot of people complain of loosing the "sporty" feel to the brake system with the conventional brakes, although thats probably due to worn donor parts.
