Roger,
Thanks for finding that article. My buddy who used to work at bosch brakes showed me that once... thus why I kept chanting that ABS works best with OEM equipment (tires, pads, wheels etc)
so now we have the answer.
THE BEST way to improve your stopping with ABS is to get everything back to stock. beyond that you could try to lower the mass of the vehcile. The brake system test drivers/engineers spend countless weeks/months testing the systems in ALL conditions and tweaking all of the parameters.
if you are after the shortest stopping distance possible, get a good set of pads for initial bite and modulation, get the stickiest tires possible on the lightest wheels possible. Make the car weigh is little as possible, tune the suspnesion properly to avoid dive disable ABS and *LEARN HOW TO DRIVE*.... (F=MA) you reduce the M and you need less F to obtain the same A. If you have to ask about that little math lesson I suggest you get an applied science/physics book and read.
Practice and expirence make better drivers... go and practice.
