Default Blob STi ABS comin in too soon???

My 04 STi PPP seems to love using the abs. All i need to do is brake slightly harder than average whilst turning slightly i.e. roundabouts with lights on etc and the brake pedal starts to pulse.

I thought I'd try it out today, when it started to pulse, I pressed much harder and the car broke much harder!

Its almost like there was no reason for the abs at all

Anyone explain this or is there a problem I should get looked at?

Cheers in advance.

Had this on my Honda Civic. Garage couldn't find a problem but the warning light came on about a year later and after 2 new pumps and the original back in - traced it and installed new rear brake sensor. This seemed to fix the problem but reckon it was a coincidence!
