      i haven't checked them with the tires actually hot.

      I wouldnt want abs brakes. Especially mandated by some saftey nazi's.

      Had them, never want them again. I could do better by modulating the brakes myself in all situations. If there's a situation I cant, then I was driving to fast for conditions anyways.

      i'm with Monzaveo! not fond of abs brakes in my car, but i do have them on my bmw motorcycle and the kept me from going down once when i had a pick-up pull out in front of me on a wet surface and grabbed for the brakes. the abs kicked in and kept the bike from fish tailing and i stopped quickly in a straightline. bmws motorcycle brakes are manufactured by brembo. they are solenoid power assist integrated brakes. grab the front brake handle and you automatically get a 60/40 power split front to rear. i have bmws version of the honda gold wing.

      im riding on stock 14's and h&r lowering springs right now....used to have 17's but I felt they could become expensive maintainence wise after I hit one to many potholes...to little tire and all that stress is put on other parts of the suspension I'd rather not have to replace. Does it look as good...no, but I mean come on its an aveo
