Default ET Streets probs

I have ET streets for my 02 Z. They are 26/11.50/16. Everything was fine when I left for the track. About 5 miles down, the Brake light, low trac and abs came on. Normal driving evrything is fine, cept for the idiot lights. When I run the 1/8th and since I just started the car in the staging lanes everything is normal. When I run, everything goes at the end of the track, low trac light from the 60' to the end and abs kicks in and I can't even push the pedal to stop. Almost hit the sand a few times.
Any ideas??

Your problem is that your rear tires are a larger diameter than your fronts and it is giving your abs fits because it thinks you are slipping tires constantly. The only way I know how to fix it is to put the same diameter tires on front, but I am sure there are other ways to get around it.

What he said. You may not like the answer, but either you get larger front tires or you can remove ABS.

Cool, is there a way to disable the abs without tuning or tripping any lights, codes, etc? This will only be done for track use, not while daily driving.

Don't worry about it. The lights reset every time the car is started. Mine does this all the time with the drag wheels on. It won't hurt anyting.

pull the ABS fuses when you run the ET Streets and the brakes will work like normal minus the ABS. The brake light and ABS light will be on though. when you shut the car off and replace the fuses the lights will go out.
