Default ABS and Stoptech

I'm thinking of upgrading my brakes with the new-gen Stoptechs. I've never done this before and was wondering if the ABS system will still work with the new brake calipers and disks installed. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

ABS should work just fine. The StopTech will not hinder ABS.

It works just great! ABS kicks in when the tire can't grip the road any longer and the wheel stops turning (is locked up by the brakes). ABS alternately lets OFF the brakes tempoarily and then re-engages them. Since the StopTechs are more powerful than the stock brakes, they can cause the wheel to lock up more easily than the stock brakes if you brake HARD, but there's nothing wrong with that, the two systems are both continuing to do exactly what they should.

I hope that helps...
