Recently I put a coilover system on my MY00.
The suspension is from a decent brand (AST), but not very known in the UK I think.
The whole setup is done by a suspension engineer (height, damping, alignement and so on...), I think the car is about 1/2 inch lower compared to standard, but much more firm with almost no roll.
I noticed now that the ABS is triggering faster, or is it just that I reach higher speeds ? Is there something that can be done to eliminat this ? Or is the only solution that I adapt myself to this and place a switch to de-activate the ABS ?

Harder suspension = sudden (but less) weight transfer from rear to front when on brakes thus your ABS triggering faster, there is no compliance from the suspension that could absorb the above forces now and your tires work more as part of the suspension system.
May be my English aren't so good and can't explain it better but believe me this is the reason!

Just get back from my final Ring trip (Sunday was the last day for Tourist drives).
I noticed indeed a faster triggering from the ABS but I have a switch to disable it, also it's true that I brake harder and later because the car is so much more stable than before.
Next thing is AP 4pots....
