I agree with everything you've said about the benefits of ABS...but on this point I feel you are sorely wrong. Tyres give their most absolute grip when they are slipping across the road surface slightly, be that when they are accelerating, cornering, and braking. Under braking a tyre is...

2003/53 - 172 Cup - 68K from brand new (and I managed that on one engine ;) ) Faster than most too... *** runs ***

Four-pots become irrelavent once you get Pagid Blue pads ;)
