You can disable the ABS, just deprive it of power. I think that would turn off the lights as well. So long as the mechanical portion of your brakes are working properly, its an option.....
No oversized pistons available for calipers. Basically, the hone is just to clean them up a bit. May not even be required. (depending on what they look like....)
Your speedometer doing anything odd?

speedometer seems normal to me.
I had the mechanic I'm working with pull the sensor from the rear differential and clean it. This was the 1st thing I did for this problem.He said it was "dirty". Just before he did that I had the rear differential oil changed. There were some filings in it? I think it was normal wear and tear. It wasn't low on oil either.
I don't think I'm going to resolve this.

Speedo working and cleaning that sensor, does not mean it isn't bad.
And a "caliper"
with a piston that badly rusted, simply needs replace.

None of the calibers have shown signs as rust as far as I know.
It's the action of the release mechanism's that are not as responsive as they should be that has me concerned.

I have no idea what caliper rings are.
I think part of the problem may be the master cylinder. Did you bench bleed it before installing? Than could cause the ABS problem.
The pulsing (I think I read that in the first post) could have been the result of warped rotors.

No Codes "authors reply"
I just got done attaching a scanner! and NOTHING in the computer. ugh
Yet I have the BRAKE and ABS lights now on almost permanently.
The scanner is a ACTRON OBD II
The scanner reports a PASS
comments?
This is what I got when I used a technique of turning the key to on 3 times.
Next up is to replace the cables/sensors to the front wheels.

+1. Take it to a shop that has a better scanner. See if they find something different. Costs a bit, but, better than throwing more parts at it, and not fixing it.
