I dont think this problem was very common with stock suspension... however, the stiffer the rates... the worse it seemed to be. This cars brakes killed my confidence.

You mean the brakes are excellent and the STR [strike]tires[/strike] class arent suitable for the weight of the car.

What happened to your ABS?

I'm sure it could be a tire/grip issue. However, the cars dont seem to have this problem in stock trim.

The abs works fine most of the time. Just every once in awhile... randomly, they'd lock. I tried multiple compounds and made sure everything was clean and we'll maintained... no idea what caused it.

Trust me, I did tons of research. Any course that required a brake stomp would make me super timid.
