Re: Thoughts on ABS? 200 92

Sure. Why not? It is just a matter of using each system properly. I prefer ABS because you can just plant your foot and let it do the work, but you don't lose the sense of having to pump the brakes when you actually go into a proper skid. Plus the absence of brake pedal hammering is something that clues you into a bad situation about to happen, once you feel traction break.

The system (on 240s) isn't bad to maintain. I change the fluid once in a while but not that often. I bleed the system when I change the brake pads. Other than that, the 240 system is simple. The only other common problem area is the rear axle sensor wire, which has been known to break because of axle travel.
