It sounds like you've got something put back together wrong or the complications of different components are coming home to roost. Are you sure that the caliper size and rotor size and the pads are compatible? Did you disconnect an ABS sensor and not get it back in right?

I do know that a number of people are running the same setup as I have...There was some heavy research done by other members who started the big brake upgrade (2Phast is one of them)

I agree ABS/Squealing sound like a different problem.

I did just put in Textar pads this past weekend. I used some anti-squeal paste on the back of the pads (CRC BrakeQuiet iirc) when I installed them.

As to the caliper/rotor/pads compatible...I am running E430 front calipers/rotors/pads...Im not sure if thats what you're getting at... Everything visible fits down there..

As to the ABS: I've not disconnected any sensors or anything. What exactly triggers the ABS to engage? Perhaps since my brakes arent "fully braking" and I have to press the pedal down futher the system is interpreting that as something else?

Just some thoughts...
