The test car looks like some kind of race car, I wonder if ABS is deactivated? If not I'd be interested to know how the vehicle's ABS system copes with each of these brake upgrades. It certainly won't be deactivated in a lot of punters' cars.
For one thing, if the displaced volume is different, the modelled pressures will be different from what the ABS expects and it'll either be putting too much pressure in or too little. The increased friction is also going to mess with the brake torque calculations and could cause the vehicle to think the wheels are in slip before or after they actually are...
I'd really be interested to see if this is a consideration when essentially fitting race brakes to a road car.
My car has the AP kit and I swear it goes into ABS earlier than it should and is potentially sometimes being held back a bit under really harsh braking as a result.
