    Just as the title says, my 05 Grand Prix GT's ABS keeps engaging during low speeds and light braking on dry pavement. Usually 2-4 times per drive and it's getting very annoying. It's been happening for about a week, and seems to be getting worse (more frequent).

    Anyone have any ideas?

    One or both of your front wheel hubs are going bad. It's pretty common.

    Open Cone Intake, 180° Tstat, Autolite 605 Coppers, Autolite 7mm wires (will upgrade soon), Muffler delete (headers soon)

    This. It doesn't always have to be the hub itself, sometimes the sensor goes bad and the hub is still good.
