1999 CSVT's got all the fancy braking electronics. . .1998 CSVT owners were left with ABS only. My experience: I had crappy ford brake fluid before, and ABS would kick in on the slightest excited-brake-slamming pressure, it drove me nutz. Now, after I added the brake fluid, the baer brakes, the new pads, I'm experiencing braking like never before; maybe it's the pads, maybe the fluid, maybe it's the KDW's with the larger tire patch, BUT as far as my ABS interfering, It hasn't piped in to "save" me since I added the new fluid (since I did the fluid change after I installed the brakes and pads). . .it seems to me, in MY case, that fluid plays a more dynamic role than the ABS programming, since, like someone mentioned before, modulating the braking yourself is a bit more effective than the ABS.
i dunno if I'm making sense here, maybe I should post sober. . .
