This, I locked up my brakes ONE time.. Running shitty used 215/45 on the front, now running awesome condition 225/45 I can slam the brakes and no issues.

You guys need to learn to use your brakes. ABS sucks and is for retards. If I have to try to lock up my Brembos, then you should have no problems with your single-piston garbage.

There is a big debate on NRR about ABS on track and on Auto-x courses. Those are the guys who actually track their car often,, as in multiple track sesions a year with some auto-x's thrown in there.

Personally I dont want ABS on my car, and have never felt the need for it. And I've pushed my brakes pretty hard and had no issues with my set up.

If Chomes comment was directed at mine, only locked them up once on stock tires with 90,000 miles on the first day of owning it lol.

only reason i love my ABS is because its tied into my vin number and whether it is there or not or works or not, it saves me about 3-4 hundred dollars a year on my insurance
