As you know i have looked into deleting ABC. I have found some extensive info. The swap to coils/swaybars is the easy part. The swap to coilovers is a bit more difficult but not by any means too complicated.

The biggest issues will be making the pump run only power steering(maybe we can just run the factory pump ABC "out" back "in"-to itself). The next complicated matter is making the ECU happy so no red ABC warning light with no ABC system present. I have a very seasoned individual ready to take this on but i dont live close to him and therefore cannot at this time justify forking our the cash to experiment.

ABC can be "turned off" in STAR. As for us 55k guys, we can just a W220 power steering pump. You V12 guys are in a different boat I believe...
