I bent the crap out of my brake pedel at the auto-x yesterday & I think I need to find something stronger that will hold up better.

Default It's not the brakes mechanicly,,

I think the abs computer is freaking out. With the abs unplugged it stops great but I don't want to flat spot my tires. I have gone through everything in the brake system &amp; the only thing left is the computer. The abs always wants to jump in early when there is no lockup like around 5 mph when stopping &amp; sometimes it will activate while accelerating, it makes no sense &amp; I have spoken with techs about it &amp; the only ideas are a faulty computer. I will have to replace the arm because once it bent it will allways bend again. The car also throws no codes so it's kind of a mystery.
