Bob,

The pads should have no effect on ABS engagement. Either the tires slip and the ABS engages, or not. In slippery conditions, you may find the ABS activating with less pedal pressure than with stock pads, due to the higher friction coefficient of the Hawks, but otherwise it should act as stock.

I did a bit of light towing with the pads (4K lbs or so) and they worked very well. I'll be towing a 7.5K lbs load in a couple of weeks.
