abs units sell for 65-75 bucks on fleabay. It shouldn't be much trouble to replace the unit. I replaced mine in half an hour. Bleeding the brakes after that was a PITA.

Use the search feature to read about tko installs. LD85 did his and says great things about it.

ABS is safety equipment. Why take that out?
Try putting C5 brakes on the front and marvel how fast it stops instead.
