Default Anti Lock Brakes

Does anyone know if it is possible or even worth it to add ABS to a 2000 Si. I'd love to have ABS on my car. I'd appreciate the feedback.

Why do you think it is a waste of time? ABS increases the safety of a car greatly. I know that some EX's came with ABS. I just want to see if it's possible to get an ex abs system and install it on an SI.

ABS is not a waste of time. I don't see why it was offered on the Canadian SiR? but not the US Si. The swap is possible, but it will cost a GRIP and be a PITA.

How much do you think it would cost?

A lot. I think there's an ABS computer, special sensors, and I think it has bigger rotors. If you track the car any, it'd be better not to have ABS.

I know the rotors are the same size, but that's all I know about what I have in common with the abs civics. Does anyone have an idea as to how much it would cost.

I looked under my hood and it appears to have all the mounting holes for the main abs unit ready to tap. Do you guys think that the rest of my car is as well adapted for this conversion?
