That "chirp" that you get is from a brief moment of lock-up (mere milliseconds). The point of ABS is to achieve maximum braking potential by riding the edge of lock-up. I'm not getting even close to the edge, there is no chirping, right now it feels like I have the drum brakes from a 1930's truck only with rock solid pedal feel.

The track conditions were very grippy so there has to be a reason for the malfunction. I hoping that it is something as simple as tire diameter confusing the readings the ABS computer is taking from the wheel speed sensors.

RCZ, what tires are you using, still stock?
