Yes you can do away with the ABS. It makes a huge improvement to the feel of the brakes. Make sure the system is removed properly and the modulators etc are removed properly. You can use the original servo and master cylinder but will want a non abs reservoir.

second it fully mate, removing abs is a good idea.., however you need a new master cylinder, not just the reservoir, as the asb master cylinder only has 2 pipe outlets on it, but a xr2i one can be used as its the same.
you might wanna change the valves on the inner wings for that from a non abs turbo or 2i, im not saying they are loads different but i run rear disc on my rs and use all the standard stuff and dont have any problems.
plus i got some of the valves from a non abss frst in the shed :wink: .

just get up scrappy and get all the brake lines off a fez and then swap them over
