Different ABS Modules

[rlhay2]

The ABS modules have different threshold parameters. They behave differently at the limit. For a street car, it is a superfluous upgrade. Something to add to a mod list but that is about.

Now if you are a frequent track day driver or track racer, it may be worth swapping when you add track pads.

I guess it remains to be seen what the gain would be but I would imagine that threshold is more front brake biased for the GT500s. I would not touch that ABS if I was building a track car. Swap in a set of Trophy Series StopTechs or a complete Baer package at all 4 corners and some fresh Motul brake fluid and call it a day. You will stop hard and quick all day long with those cooling ducts. Also what ABS module does the Boss or Boss 302 S use? Is it in the Ford Racing Catalog.

Yes I did see different part number in the racing catalog, that is what lead me to ask. Since I have already done Brembo upgrade, cool vents and carbtech 12 front 10 back pads I was just really wondering if the factory Brembo equipped had any difference from my factory non-Brembo.

I wish I could afford to track my car all the time, lucky to get one a month.

And thanks for all the replies!
