Let's discuss our abs system

I am 100000 times happy that my Stealth is ABS free. Never wished it had it. I would rather lock the tires up in an emergency stop situation anyway.

Rolling friction >>>> static friction.

I'm surprised it hasn't been an issue in my 99 with the stop TECs. It's still there and functioning for now. Going back and forth about deleting it. This is a street car but not one that gets driven in weather.

In the past, I've just deleted it (with OEM components) if it didn't work.

problem with that graph is no Y axis label.............it's possible for there to be a large drop in Mu when sliding, or a barely perceptible drop in Mu. AAAAAAAnnnnnnd it's tire dependent. Some tires seem to have as much grip sliding as rolling, and some drop off the face of the planet.

I plan on deleting mine simply because it does not work and never has, not worth spending the money to fix/replace all of it. I do believe that if you still have the ABS and it's working properly, no sense deleting it though for a street car.

I'm well aware, just throwing a picture at it. All of the street tires I've driven have very nearly as much grip sliding as they have while rolling. I've driven plenty of tires in video games where the opposite is true. I've never driven on a slick in real life, so idk how real that is.

I've noticed (not at all fact or truth) that the lower the threadwear the less that dropoff is. IE, Ultra High Performance Summer Tires have less dropoff than Economy tires.

I've never driven high treadwear tires in real life, so no idea how that plays out.
