StopTech has a great white paper on BBK's and their potential impact on ABS.

StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades

The problems of a misapplication of a BBK described in the article would apply to the braking system across the board however. The issue raised here is after time on the track (heat buildup in the rotor, caliper, pad, fluid, etc.) the ABS system seems to kick in early. The parameters of the ABS system may be so tightly constrained that when brake fade (due to heat buildup) sets in there is an immediate overreaction. When combined with a misapplied BBK, the overreaction is exacerbated.

Possibly. Maybe. Dunno.
