I'm talking about something else -- the grabbiness I'm experiencing is during friction braking at extremely slow creeping speeds (speeds well below the transition).


I think ProDigit nailed it: it's the "initial bite", and it's super sensitive. Too sensitive.
Probably not the same thing, but.... years ago I learned to drive in a 1975 chevy pickup and a 1993 dodge 15 passenger van. Then I drove my mom's new 2004 Pontiac vibe/toyota matrix. The first brake event just about sent my dad and I through the windshield!!
