ABS recall and modded brakes?
Just wondering if anyone here has gotten the ABS recall done on their car with aftermarket brake calipers. Anyone with Stoptech, TWR or Subaru 4-pot calipers have the recall done? If so, which dealer? I'd rather not have to swap my calipers to get the ABS fix.

i read the letter they sent me and it sounds like the new ECU they will install is going to make the ABS come on sooner. sounds werid b/c IIRC people were complaining how how the ABS came on too soon.
with these modified ECU's is also sounds like they might loose their reflashed ECU's.

The letter specifically states that the recall does not apply to cars with "unauthorized" brake modifications. I take it to mean aftermarket calipers and the like. Has anyone gone to a dealer for the recall and been denied because of modded brakes?
The ABS ECU that they replace is just behind the passenger-side headlight.
