Since you just replaced the rear calipers, that may have something to do with it too...along with your brakes. What are you using?

Generally though, even if you mash the brakes the ABS will kick in and save you. I doubt seriously you have a bias issue and wouldn't recommend fooling with that!
No offense taken, but I would have expected the ABS to kick in, as you also stated. I am running Cobalts as i always'have. The new calipers could be more effective, that is why i am wondering about bias
