with differing wheel speeds, and will modulate whatever end is stopping
hardest (i.e. locking) no matter what caliper is there. If it appears
that whatever effort at modulation isn't working, then it will modulate
(i.e. reduce pressure by "pumping" more often until everything is in
balance. IMHO, a properly functioning ABS system isn't going to have any
problem if you run a big brake kit or not. Remember, the single greatest
factor affecting your brakes performance is your TIRES.

OK. Last nit to pick, I promise!

If this article is completely true, and that upsetting the balance that
the
ABS computer is used to could cause "confusion", well, they wouldn't be
offering front-brake-only kits, now would they?
Cheers,
