Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes What about ABS?

Here is a quick question....when you go with a larger brake setup, does it become necesssary to change anything in the ABS system for it to perform at its peak with larger rotors, better calipers, better pads etc. I know that when you change tire size or final drive ratio you have to change something called a digital ratio adapter. Any info would be awesome, i have been thinking 13 inchers for a while but i don't want to decrease the performance of my ABS.

The digital ratio adapter is probably for you speedometer and odometer and nothing else. Of all the brakes conversions I've seen or heard of here you shouldn't have to do anything. The bigger brakes will only grab better lockin up the tires quicker and engaging the ABS quicker and more abruptly. KJ's Baer just about pulled the car off the road when he slammed on the brakes because they grabbed so well. I was picking my balls out of my throat after that rid with him.
