ABS would be the smartest, safest, only way to go but then you gotta opt for the $1200 Security Package.

Mine had the problem when I first bought it. I told the dealer about it and was going to take it in for them to check it out. The strange thing is after a few mornings of pumping it up good it seems to have fixed itself. It has the proper feel now and the lever does not feel at all spongie. I think in my case there was just some air in the system that needed to be worked out, normal cycling of the lever took care fo it.
