ABS is a good thing to have in winter and rain.. I dont like it.. think its glitchy... To drift, simply remove your ABS relay.. Makes lockingup tires easier.

For avoiding small animals in the rain, it's great.

I think it's bad, bad, bad for drift. When you hit the brakes or yank the handbrake to lock the rears when setting up for a corner, the ABS kicks in and tries to make you straighten up.

Brakes yes, e-brake no... When you pull the e-brake it manually pushes the piston assembly out. No hydraulics are used, thus abs has no effect on it.
