    ok go to a wet road...and hit the breaks hard....if they lock up you dont have it...and yeah i think they only came in the higher class cars.

    Re: can i

    it wouldnt be worth it... u would need speed sensors, abs unit, u would have to run more brake lines, tone rings, it would be a pain

    Re: can i

    if ur wheels lock up, release some brake pressure, then reapply. thats what abs does, and its less effective than a competent driver.

    ABS came in Euro models but only with B20a engines. I must say its not worth it. ABS on our cars way some Kilos.

    To be exakt its not ABS on Hondas its ALB (Anty Lock Brakes)

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    Re: can i

    I had Goodyear last winter in winter country, (we do have winter thet lasts 9 mounth) to tell you i wasent inprest, now i have Nokian. They are super, mass of greep on snow or ice, aspetualy on wet ice. So yeas good tires is beter then ALB (abs) system.

    One more thing from mi expereance : If you have to brake hard (child on the rode) or some like thet. You brake hard and tern stearing wheel to the left or right and in last moment before colition you let go on brakes. Whut hopend is even if you tern wheel to side you'll be SEIL strait forword, but when you let go you get you'r greep back. Thet way you avoide axident or Head colition for thet mether. Trust me it works. i done it like 10-15 times allready. save me every time.

    Good lock

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    sure. might as well make it a diesel too. Add some air bags, curb feelers and a alarm while you're at it.

    OR send the money you'll be wasting to me! I'll use it in a fitting and pleasant manner.
