Do you think our ABS kicks in to early ?

I was out and about yesterday in Warwickshire country side in the Avant pushing her rather hard at times.

With the ABS off you can defiantly brake harder before lock up where as ABS would kick in way before this.

Has anybody else noticed this ?

ABS shows no faults on VAGCOM and I have the 996 set up.

Yeah I think that is why some people turn it off for the track.

The older cars have an abs cancel switch on the dash, there is a thread on here about fitting one to an aby, tricks the car into thinking the diff is locked so abs is disengaged.

If the brakes aren't balanced then this can happen, mine was a load better when the 996s were on, I think the rears were locking up with stock fronts as the fronts were so poor Not had an issue since then, even ona wet race track.

[andy10v]

How did you balance them, is there a factory bias valve or another method?

[Rusty]

Nope, ABS does it all but stronger front brakes meant the backs have to do less % work so don't lock and trigger the ABS. Removing the ABS and hydraulic assist and fitting vacuum assist with a bias valve has got to be the best option for driver involvement.
