ABS kick after new pads instalation

Eh who knows then, there's a thousand things it could be, hard to say without looking at it yourself

. An instructor at TDE once told me a story about her husband having a brake issue with his racecar on the track, and it turned out that he installed one of his brake pads backwards (metal backing plate facing the rotor). Even experienced, competent people make random mistakes

Yeah I thought it sounded pretty unrealistic when I first heard it, sitting in my car. But it has haunted me every time I put my brakes back together since. I find myself going back and double-checking the pad orientation before I put the wheels back on, and thinking to myself that I could easily make that mistake, too
