I have purchased the new brake controller, MK60, for my car. I did this a few years back but have never had the chance to install it. I really wanted to follow the "Traction Control(ASR)" thread. We bought my wife a newer car, 2006 Dodge Stratus. It has traction control and I cannot stand it. I hate the feeling of the brakes constantly being slammed on without me doing it. I find myself turning it off when I get into situations where it starts to kick in.
I have all of the parts to do the conversion, but I am not really sure I want to now. I grew up not having this ability on any of my rigs, the Stratus is the first ever. Maybe the Jetta behaves differently, but not sure it will. I am a very spirited driver, have been since I drove my first rig, 1961 Chevy pickup. Then my 79 Trans Am set it in stone. I am very cautious about how I drive, but when I want to play I want to play. My drive is 69 miles of mostly country back roads with zero other traffic.
Those of you who have done the conversion, how do you like it? Are you a spirited driver? Does it seem the brakes are harshly applied when it does kick in?
