    Exclamation ABS feel when braking

    Hi when I brake there is a feeling as if the abs is working but it can't be as it happens even when I am braking normally. The car has new discs and pads. It's not pulling to the side. Could it be anything to do with suspension set up.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    i would go with the warped discs, ive seen them go after a 100miles, if you get on them to hard when there cold it can be game over very quick.
    you'll get a pulsing feeling through the pedal and maybe even hear them catching when driving off the brakes
