Does ABS disable after dropping car?
If you lower your car, will your ABS disable? I did a search but no1 brought up this topic. I was just curious, although it should not...

Rep Power: 0 I don't see why it would disable your abs, that would mean when you are in hard braking, and you hit a bump, it will disable the abs when the wheel flys up in the wheel well, sould like good logic?

Rep Power: 0 In the 6th gens, you can disable your ABS by driving around a few kms with your ebrake pulled up, though I'm not sure if this also works in the 7th gen.
There was some talk about lowering the car, and your airbags deploying or something though....

Rep Power: 305 The ABS system relies on sensors on each hub. The only thing to worry about is not damaging the harness to each of these sensors when lowering your car. Past that, with you springs installed your brakes should function just like before. Personally, I almost got into an accident when someone pulled out in front of me. I said something like "sh*&" and just slammed on the brakes with all my might. My Civic came to a stop and avoided it all. So I would certainly not do anything to disable the ABS system.
