    If your abs is functioning your bakes theoretically should not lock up. That being said, by abs is not working, I can lock up my oem set up.

    My brakes are OEM standard with working ABS.
    On dry sealed roads I can make the tyres chirp and the ABS work from above 60 MPH.
    On gravel roads the tyres alternate skid / rotate / skid as the ABS works harder.

    My pedal goes nearly to the floor to achieve this, and I don't like it. I would like to see the brakes come on with less pedal travel. Putting larger, or 2 spot, calipers on will only increase pedal travel unless you also update the master cylinder.

    I find my stock brakes very mediocre...

    But this thread is more auto HOW to upgrade the brakes, rather than WHY
