Mike, can you share your experience with the EBD being disabled.

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.
The system, from my experience (no actual measurements) has a front bias. Unless you purposely put a much more aggressive compound in the rear, you won't have any rear locking up issues.

In fact, you won't have any rear locking up issues since ABS is still active

What it does do, is let you properly trail brake.
