Brake line white & red

[JeffR]

Why there is a white line when I brake and red line on the top of this one and it changed ?

I mean, sometimes it is 50/50 white and red and sometimes I have almost a full white line when I brake ??!?

I believe correct me if I'm wrong, the white part signifies the amount of grip available that your brakes are applied and can fully use up until the red shows. The red is braking beyond the limit of adhesion.

ABS will kick on if you go into the red if you are using ABS.

I could be wrong here, but that is what I think it is.

It makes sense !
I always play with ABS ON so, i do not see any difference and I always brake hard when i am at full speed and i have to brake before a J turn.

Pretty much correct, I would say though that the red is what the ABS is pulling back.

After testing again, it is probably not the abs because i have the same white and red line when i am stoped. 0mph.

So... ABS doesnt engage when you are at 0 right?... o.O

I should have full white line (full grip) when i am stoped with the car.
