First time I hear about this effect... If this is the case why would Pagid advice me to use this set-up? Is asked which set-up gave the best brake balance and they advised the RS14/RS4-4 for my car and other BMW's. I'm now driving with RS4-2 all round on my full AP kit. With heavy braking I found that the ABS comes in faster then when I was driving with the original brake set-up.

The guys from Simpson Motorsport (UK) and other specialists have the same opinion;

On most BMWs you will find that the AP 4 pot caliper is a little large for the rear, and that a softer pad will generally work better in the rear with the APs.
