I agree with many of the statements of not having the same amount or quality of engineering in the AM parts as with the original Honda parts.That said the NSX was built with an extreme balance between comfort, performance, and quality. I - like many other enthusiasts am willing to trade a small amount of comfort and quality for performance.That all said - your example is overly simplistic in some ways. It seems to imply if I was going up (or down) an extreme grade (lets say a mountain road) where temperature, the grade, and even elevation now become meaningful variables in how the ABS functions that either the ABS can't learn quick enough in these instances (which I doubt) or accounts for these variables (which I also doubt). I believe based on real world encounters with brake modifications and the ABS system - that even on my 13 year old NSX the ABS system is more then capable of taking advantage of brake modifications without extending brake times significantly. I have seen the stock system fade terribly and the stock rotors crack at the track.I do know that some of the kits really need a different master cylinder to push those extra pistons against the bigger rotor to stop the bigger and heavier wheels - but that is a discussion for another day.
