Abs ...

[Townie]

Hi I have a 182 and am taking it on track this year !

The abs is very sensitive and I find am loosing A lot of braking force ! I have uprated disc and brake pads and have also using high performance fluid !

Is there a way of turning the abs of completly?

 

[McGherkin]

Pull the fuse?

Could be cracked ABS rings.

Do not pull the fuse. It will give 50/50 bias.

I personally don't find the abs that intrusive even with 4 pots. What tyres/ brakes are you running?

 

[Townie]

Am using Toyo proxies 4 tyres

The mintex front grovved disc and pads ..

I was gonna get a set of 4 pots? Do they make a lot of difference

To be honest, it sounds to me like you're either too aggressive under braking or not braking in a straight line perhaps. Or theres something not right with the car..

Not calling you a sh*t driver, but I've not had much of a problem with the ABS on these clio's before under hard braking.

I am aggressive on braking ... I live in the welsh country side so there ground conditions isn't great ?

What pads could you recommend to have more of an aggressive bite to them

Depends, because the more performance orientated you go the less bite from cold you tend to get.

DS2500's are a good fast road pad, DS3000's are mega on track as are CL's Rc5's & 6's.

Yeah it's my daily so I think ds300 be there ones .. Thanks for your help

If you do a lot of spirited driving/track days then you can't go wrong, couples with hoses & some decent fluid you're on to a winner.

Lines and proper fluid tend to make the car a lot better under braking heavily from my experience.
