My 1987 560SEC, ATE slotted rotors with semi-metallic PBR pads - 60 to 0 in
141 feet per the G-Force Pro test equipment. 225/55/16 Nitto Extremes front
& rear, ABS pulsing away. You have a problem if you can't even lock up 205
tires.

I know the stock brakes aren't strong enough to kick in the ABS on 205/70 14

Bull. Your braking system must have some serious problems.

60-0 in 123 feet, stock brakes, good tires:
