Re: Should I turn off ABS - it's annoying and other ?'s

I pulled the ABS fuse, the orange dash light is on now, but the abs is disabled. And wow what a difference, i like it way better, but that dash light is damn annoying so i will prolly put the fuse back in after i drive it a little more.

Suspension

What springs fit on a mx-3gs. Shouldn't protege/escort/323 springs fit? or will only egt and pro lx springs fit because they are all disc? are there differences? and are the 4 and 6 cyl same suspension? could someone clear this up for me, thanks.
