Hello.
I have been spending a fair while trying to work this one out.
When you upgrade the brakes from the STD brembo items up to the AP 6 pots or the tar ox 10 pots, with huge rotors and massively powerful calipers. how come the wheels dont just lock up when you stand on them ?
I have std brakes and the abs kicks in when you brake really hard even if it is a progressive braking pressure rather than a stamp.
There is no extra rubber on the road as some people keep std wheels but put the big brakes on.
Having been out in cars with AP 6 pots on the difference is eye poppingly noticeable not just a little bit.
So with all that extra force stopping the wheels why do they not just lock up and engage the abs ?
any light shed on this would be most appreciated...
