When ABS kicks in, it knocks me out of focus on driving. ABS is like you are slowing down at 5 feet per sec, 2 feet per sec, 3 feet per sec, 4 feet per sec. Every split second, the rate of deceleration changes completely. I cannot predict the stopping distance very well. I don't know if I should steer out of the way because I don't know if it will stop in time or not.

With no ABS, it is more uniform. You slow down at almost the same rate of deceleration. That is what it feels like to me. That way, it helps me determine if I will make it staying straight, or if I should steer out of the way to avoid the accident.

I know ABS is much safer and better in every situation, I just don't like how it feels.
You should still be able to turn the car while you're braking with ABS as the tires still have traction.

Relax, bud. When the dude with a drag Honda and a boosted daily that has had fast Honda's for years AND fabs his own parts tells the new kids on the block that they're doing it wrong, it's time to step back and learn something.
