lowered with bigger brakes, ABS...

So does anyone else find that the ABS cuts in a lot more? Like doing 5mph up to a junction in the dry, hit a small bump and on it comes

I can never tell if ABS is working on my car. Even stopping really hard.

I must be a poof not driving it hard.

never noticed it the abs wouldnt be affected by lowering as the info it gets is from speed sensors on the cv joints so being lower wont affect it

Sorry, I've worded the question wrong again. I'm on the tein basics so the springs are much stiffer

again no my tein flex is set very hard at the moment need to sort it but it doesnt affect my abs at all

not noticed this but i find the lude abs a little trigger happy anyway.

maybe give the speed sensors and trigger ring a good clean?
nice easy job with a torch, carb cleaner and a toothbrush.

OK I'll look into it next time I'm under the car

Thought it may have been linked to the lowering as didn't notice it before that and the roads are pretty bloody bumpy around here

+1 abs can be a little touchy, I tried braking to stop at a red light , in the dry, nice sunny day and the car just kept on going................. and eventually stopped in the middle of the junction...

I have only once noticed my ABS kicking in when it was a wet greasy roundabout. The rest of the time not a peep. Thats in the 5G of course as my 4G lacks ABS, when I first tracked the 4th I locked the wheels up at about 80 in the pissing rain using balding road tyres
