Oversensitive ABS

[Eyvind Spangen]

I think the ABS in my '90 200TQ is a bit too sensitive. When driving
on a dirt road and braking as hard as possible, the ABS kicks in and
makes the car use at least twice the "normal" distance. I know that
ABS on such roads doesn't work as good as locked wheels, but if I try
other ABS-equipped cars, they allow a lot heavier braking before the
ABS kicks in, with a lot shorter braking distance. What could be the
problem?
