Big Brake Kits and ABS

Looking to install the Brembo big brake kit (rotors, calipers, pads, braided lines) to the front and rear of my E430. Does anyone know if the factory ABS is affected in any way with these bigger brakes?

The ABS System Could Care Less What Size Brakes are on the Car
All It Reads is Brake lock....ANTI lock Brakes

Go For It..No Problems!

Awesome Will you be staying with the yellow calipers on the Brembo BBK? I've driven an E46 M3 with the F&R BBK on SSR's...the stopping power and brake modulation was outstanding!!! I got hooked!...Just wished I had deep pockets.

No Problemo! Do it! The only question you have to ask yourself now is what color do i want? I have red on all 4-corners

Caliper color

Yeah, I have the yellow factory calipers, however, the Brembos only come in black, silver, or red. Will probably either go red or buy silver and paint them yellow. Thanks for all your info. guys.
