[Supras] ABS Actuator Unit

[Jeff Mohler]

Many racers retain the ABS in cars when they prep them.  Not all, but a
majority.

Its a fantastic thing to have, and you can use it to your advantage as well
sometimes.

People who think theyre better off without it..well, I think they're short a
few track days to teach them a few things about how to properly brake a car
at threshold.
