[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1139842, member: 21394"] I frequently engage the ABS on the rear brake (Gen I) but I am also engaging the fronts hard. The ABS lets you over-engage the brakes without losng control or stability. If you need to stop, grap a handful of brake and stop. It's a good thing to practice, but with modern ABS brakes, it's not easy to modulate the brakes in a way that is going to pull down speed faster and safer than relying on the ABS function. Learn to use them, front and rear, so you don't back off when you need to stop NOW. [I] [/I]Don't be afraid of the click or pulse of the ABS. I have never had the ABS put me in a skid, but I don't do this in a sharp curve on wet pavement. [/QUOTE]
