ABS Kill Switch?

Question if anyone knows--Im wondering if there is a way I can tap into maybe the ECU wiring or some sensor wiring to have the ability to shut off the ABS system by flicking a toggle switch---Any ideas suggestions, or is this a completely bad idea--drop me a line--Thanks!!

Nevermind-just found the thread wil my same Q

IMHO This is just a really bad idea. Anti-lock brakes work better than any driver other than a very few elite drivers at the very top of their games.

I would also be certain that your insurance company never finds out that you had deactivated the ABS if you get into an accident, or worse yet, the lawyer of the person that you hit.

Some ABS better than others. I like the MCS' system, but I don't like driving with the ASC on... so I'm sorta stuck. I like the ABS in traffic, especially what you find around bay area on 101, 580 (nightmarish crazy drivers and all kinds of crap falling off of trucks at 75mph), 280... so I only turn it off if when I'm enjoying the twisties up to Skyline or Sonora Pass. I noticed after driving a few months with the ASC on that I was losing any kind of touch with my pedals... AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT, CAN WE :impatient ?
