How often your ABS sensors fail if the car is tracked?

Hi

This happened on track yesterday. Braked hard after the main straight, before U-turn. Didn't notice ABS light, which came on during main straight, I believe. ABS malfunctioned and Proxes R888R were done. Front camber is 2.5, if you wonder.



I just replaced two rear ABS sensors during last month (they failed in 2 week period) and now Carly tells that front left is done!

Do you guys replace tehm routinely, before failing?

Mine have never failed, front or rear, in either of my M track cars

Which bbk are you running? You may just be melting them.

Failed on my car once, about 2 years ago. It looked like the sensor got rubbed by a tire or suspension parts. They haven't been damaged since we replaced and ziptied it in a secure spot, away from movement.

All four of mine failed pretty close in time. It was between 7 and 8 years old iirc. I've only tracked it a handful of times.

Thanks, this correlates with my case. Three sensors failed in short time, my car is 9 yrs old though.

I have M4 F8x set installed. I believe, they run cooler. Pads are not melting as bad as before.
