what will stopyour car faster, is applying the maximum preasure to the brakesthat allow the tires to not lock up, this will give better stoping, and will alow you to stear even in the snow. But because there is such a small difference between the max preasure to keep wheele spinning, and locking up the wheels, it is alot easier to alow the abs to kick in.

i think this is what was being refered to when they said they would remove the brakes, and re-apply. The first time the ABS engaged, and the second time they did not hit the brakes as hard, andallowed the brakes to work like they are intended, without the tires locking up

that make any sence?
