My tib doesn't have ABS. It's one thing I wish it had. What parts would I need to do this? In your opinion, is it worth it?

I doubt you could basically because you would need a entire new wiring harness since the hookup is on the very end of the harness. then a ECU that controlled it, the ABS unit, finally all the pre-bent aluminum tubing would be a PITA to route.

Go to a gravel parking lot for 3 hours and practice panic stops while rapidly pumping your brakes.

lmao.gif Doesn't look like a feasible idea. I thought that maybe with a parts car, it would just be a straight-forward swap, but it sounds like it would be a PITA. Thanks, guys! fing02.gif
