Ok does anyone elses brakes make this funny noise when they stop suddenly or from fast speeds?
or is this just the abs?
and does anyone know how to increase the sensativity on the aftermarket alarm?
thanx

I haven't heard any noise from my brakes yet. Although, I have yet to really slam them. But, the ABS should feel like a vibration in the pedal and you might also hear the sound of the ABS hydraulics pulsating the breaks.

I get a vibration because my rotors are warped... Do you mean a squeal?

Alignment, wheel balancing, or warped rotors. Those are my thoughts, maybe someone else could help out.

alarm and brakes..

i think i can manage.. for the alarm. to in most cases you turn up the sensitvity on the shock sensor by adjusting the *** thingy with a flat screw driver. the shock sensor should be located some where around you steering columb.. (almost all installs are like this) i forgot which way is more sensitive or less. you just gotta try it.. as far as your brakes. i think your pads might be waering unevenly. give it some time and it should go away. but also have it checked out. the calipers might be faulty..
