That's my understanding, yes.

Mike, can you share your experience with the EBD being disabled. It is my understanding that these cars no longer employ a brake proportioning valve to manage the front -> rear brake balance under varying conditions. The EBD now manages that; but, if it's disabled, then wouldn't both front and rear wheels get identical brake force? That's not good...

I'm only speculating here, but I'm concerned about doing the pedal dance for the street and then finding myself zooming into a downhill corner out in the country and having my rears lock up and try to pass the fronts into the corner.

I don't like that kind of excitement.

Can you share your experience, please, and help me understand this better?

Thanks.
