With the big brake conversions, GGR offer a switch to disable the ABS, why?
To attain the maximum stopping power, the brakes should be applied with sufficient force to almost (but not quite) stop the wheels from turning. The ABS system prevents any wheel locking whilst braking, if this happens, you will feel the brake pedal pushing back into your foot. There are times however when the experienced driver may prefer to be in total control of the braking effect. On the road, heavy braking should take place in a straight line, and the ABS will maximise the stopping effort. In competition conditions, it may become necessary to brake whilst turning into a corner. Due to the cornering forces, the weight of the car will be concentrated onto the wheels that are on the outside of the corner, the un weighted wheels on the inside will therefore lock very easily, without destabilising the car. If the ABS is operational in this situation, the complete braking force will be released until all wheels are turning again. In certain conditions, experienced drivers will use wheel
