This is the exact reason why I have removed it from my 1995 Z71. Now I
know what to expect of my braking actions, wet, dry, smooth, bumpy roads
be damned.

Re: BIG 4 SUED FOR ABS STOPPING DISTANCES!
>Yup! something like oxygen free speaker cables at 100 bucks a foot
i've used thick gauge extension cord for as long as i can remember ;) the only
time ive put money into cables are for video transfer and in PA systems, where
mic feedback is a real concern. my ears can't tell enough of a difference
between expensive 12 or 10g cable vs equivalent gauge reg ol wire ;)
