I have a '04 LX-G (Canadian model) and find the ABS overly aggressive too.
If the roads are at all slippery the ABS kicks in way too early based on my
experience with other ABS equipped cars.

Also I intentionally "tested" the ABS on snow covered roads where one
portion of the road was packed snow and the other loosely packed and I found
the car veered abruptly when I slammed the breaks on (which is what you are
suppose to do with ABS). This was much worse than my crappy Chevy Malibu...
gets me wondering if I should just pull the fuss on the ABS on the Accord...
I'm not too impressed.
