Well then the brakes won't be doing ABS...

ABS works by having wheel speed sensors. If it detects lockup it pulses the brakes for you (much like you disengaging and reapplying the brakes yourself if you don't have it). It does it very fast though and responds much quicker than we do If ABS kicks in when you're driving an equipped car you feel a vibration on the pedal and you know it's working...

I have ABs with the V6 brakes whicj i got from V-Tuning aswell.

The ABS doesnt work properly now, it doesnt seem to be able to stop the lockups when u stamp on it!!! It locks a bit then releases then locks again. Not as good as it was with the old brakes, but overall it does stop a lot better.
