abs?
Is abs only useful or should I say most useful only during a "panic stop" when you have hte potential to lock up the brakes? i used ot drive an ex with abs now i drive an lx, and when i first started driving it took a while to get used to it just felt differnet, any braking tips for non abs users?

Rep Power: 382 ya, If you are on the brakes and trying to turn, and your not turning.... Let off the brakes. 
Other wise ya, ABS is pretty much for emergency and low grip situations where Proper brake moduation can be difficult.

Rep Power: 382 you'd be more prone to locking the brakes when its raining, or snowing ect... no big deal, you just have to drive a bit more carefully.
