Big brake kit and electronic vehicle control
 
Did anyone noticed any trouble with VSC or ABS after they have installed BBK ?
Unappropriate vehicle response to heavy solicitation ?
Especially on wet condition or on tricky roads ?

Big brakes response to electronic systems shouldn't be the same as stock ones. In particular with only front ones upgraded.

I have the Stoptech 328 mm front kit. I have no adverse affects. I absolutely love this kit. Big brake kits are more about heat capacity rather then the tiny little adjustments electronic aids do.

When I first installed them I was still on stock rubber and the brakes could overwhelm the tires but that's to be expected. Now that I'm on 255 RE-11A the brakes are still my favorite mod even over the turbo.

So far I've had no trouble with ABS or anything of the sort, but i was on crappy rubber so I was locking up much faster. This is normal as BBK's should have good tires with them or else its almost a waste of time and money. (ME WANTS NT-05'S LOL)

I found it to be same as well. The biggest thing I notice is the fade resistance compared to stock brakes with pads only. Definitely have to match tires properly.
