ben, ABS will only assist u in the dry, not in the wet. and i think what u mean by 50% braking is that when its wet, u can only apply 50% braking otherwise u will spin/ABS/slide?
As for me, since my first car didn't have ABS, now having a car with ABS i realise how useless ABS is. ever heard of threshold braking? this will give u a shorter stopping distance than ABS. its hell difficult on the wet but that depends which tyres u have on at the time as well.
ABS is sometimes annoying as well when you are braking to a stop over bumps as it kicks in when the wheel is air borne (esp on coilovers). if i could, i rather not have it in my car.
