Default just Audi's ABS or a lot of differnt ABS systems with upgraded brakes

seems like a brake bias problem. Also, as i'm sure you know the braking control module is a bosch system(its actually visible when you just pop the hood) and is most likely (don't know for sure) used on other cars too...

Default looks like it would be a really easy place to enter the second

"turn" too hot...
but i still think its some kind of brake bias problem...which may be solved with pads?? did you call stoptech yet?

Default Yes, can you please ellaborate as to what exactly is the known problem? Does ESP turn itself back on

or is this an ABS problem.

Default I've had the same thing happen to my car only under different conditions.

I was doing hard braking to go into a 40mph right hand corner. Upon turning in, I was barely brushing the brakes when the unloaded right front wheel felt like it locked up and pushed my line further to the left. I was not doing any hard braking into the corner - I was just barely touching the brake pedal. The same thing happened to me on an off ramp on the street. Right hand turn at about 40mph, just brushing the brakes - BAM - lock up.

Everything I have been told so far indicates this is an ABS issue.
