I was expecting a comment from you. Hell it's only been up an hour.... I was just coming into the breaking zone off the banking at Cal Speedway. I brake hardest immediately and that's when the photog must have taken this shot. Love that my new CF-WC splitter is scrapping the track at 155 MPH. Maybe I should go back to the stiffer springs or put some bump back into the front Motons.....
PS: I'm turning as fast of laps at CS as ever, but my motor dyno'd at 256 down 16 from BW's Dynojet, and 26 from the one at Miller. I'm back to BW in 2 weeks so I'll dyno it again on their machine and hopefully I'll be back up in the 270's. I think the GT3 cup bumper, WC splitter, and Moton's must account for my lap times with less HP at CS. Obviously the aero is much improved....

Sorry, I'm back now, long weekend.
I did look at the picture and think you may be braking from the front/read loads shown.
At Cal a stiffer spring may not be a bad idea, of course as just a thought to try for you........ bump up the can pressure. - It might work just enough for you.
Now, I'm curious what will happen when you get the hp back up ! Even faster times.
Have you booked the car hauler for the NASA NAtionals yet ? I expect you and our gypsy friend to be there !

The ABS issue can be from a few things, tire size being incorrect, incorrect spring rate, shocks being set or valved incorrectly allowing too fast a response on a bumpy track allowing the abs to see something it "thinks" it needs to fix.
Or you can also just upgrade the ABS to one of the much more expensive Motorsport systems (Bosch or BMW) which is programmed differently to adjust for it in ways the stock street systems are unable to do.
There is a lot previously discussed on this, a little depends what you are trying to solve. Black ice condition ? Increased brake performance ? Wheel lock ?

I'm going to try a set of scrubs if I can locate some and see how the car reacts. If no problems, I'll buy me some.
