So Lately i have noticed that the ABS comes on earlier than before (no way to measure that).
It seems to engage when I press harder on the brakes at low speeds.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment to the ABS? if so I can bring it to the dealer to have it checked.

Also I hope this is not related to the larger wheels (22")

thanks for your input.
 
it happens anytime. I also notice a clicking noise once in awhile on the passenger side. I could not pinpoint the noise bump have heard it when I go over speed bumps or cracks on the road, but that sound is very intermittent.

I have check the brake pads (visual) and they have plenty of material left.

should I be concerned at this point? or should I take it in to have it checked?

Cheryl, would your service dept also check for oil leak in the spark plug seal?
 
You should hear a couple clicks when you pass 10 mph, as that is the ABS system check, so that might explain that noise. I think it would make since that larger, and thus heavier, wheels will make the ABS kick in because it has to work harder to stop the rotational mass. Maybe upgrading to better brakes would help.
