Anti-lock kicked in for the first time for me today for the snowy commute home. In my 03 TL-S you could feel the brake pad click but not "grind".

I have the Brembos, so maybe that's the difference. Is it normal for it to feel like it is grinding?

On a side note, the brakes seemed to perform well in slick conditions.

Grinding? Like after the car has been sitting for a few days and you hit the brakes for the first time? The brakes will still "click" with the brembo's - at least mine do. Is it an audible or only the way it feels?

they should give off a slight grinding feel/sound. how bad is the sound

If you were on snow there probably wasn't enough traction to make the grinding sound, but they should have pulsed on and off to keep you from skidding and allow you to maintain steering control.

Try it on dry ground and you will hear it, but it is not grinding, just the sound the ABS makes when it cycles on and off.

Thanks for the replies. It's more the feel than the noise. The pedal feel is very different from my TL-S. I liked the click feel, knowing that ABS is doing its job. This feel makes me nervous.
