If you are asking us what you need to remove the ABS and have the brakes work properly, you are no qualified to do the modification. Hire someone that knows what they are doing.

Because if you just delete the ABS module and connect the lines properly, the system will not be right. Just unplug an ABS sensor and take the car for a ride to see what I mean.

There is maybe one guy that has deleted the OEM braking system from the car that I know of. So there is no list of parts needed. You will have to figure it out. What I can tell you is the without the system working properly, the rear bias is heavy. In short when the ABS system is not working the rear braking force is higher then the front, so you will have to adjust that out as well.

Have you thought about instead getting a brake system which is properly designed to work with the S2000 and not the other way around?

I am just saying. "hey you know you CAN buy Big brake systems which actually work well with the car and provide a prominent improvement in performance" If your abs isnt working properly its because your BBK isnt valved properly for the cyl size of your ABS unit and thus the response isnt as it should be.

Actual high performance cars have TCS and ABS.. I would like to have ABS but no TCS. I am keeping ABS on my car.. even though the entire engine bay is being shaved + tucked as we speak.

Here's what I would do:

Rent a brake line cutter and double flare tool. Find a cheap mandrel tubing bender. Get some solid brake lines from the junk yard. Get a larger master cylinder, either from a junk yard or an Accord or Odyssey unit from the dealer. Route the lines into a proportioning valve, then splice a line into the new master cylinder.

i agree. This is how our baja was built.. Proportioning it is somewhat of a guess-timate though, unless you have access to wheel sensor data/ know what speeds you want the brakes to perform best at.
