adding ABS?
i was just wondering if you can add abs (anti-lock braking system) into a car that does not have abs? lets say a 94 ex. can i just swap out the system from the 95 ex which comes standard? and if so, how and does it require welding. i searched but there wasnt much in depth info about this.

You COULD, but it will be a MAJOR pain in the ***.
Take it from someone who gets pissed when someone says a manual conversion is way too much work. This one IS too much work; a helluva lot more than an MT conversion.
For example, you'll need to replace:
-Your rear wheel hubs
-Front knuckle assys and axles
-gauge cluster
You'll also have to add the ABS fuse box in the engine compartment and relays and run the wire harness all the way to the trunk where the ABS ECU is.
Not to mention actually adding the ABS modulator in the engine compartment, I don't even want to think about this as its giving me a headache.
Dude, I'd say just get a car with ABS from the factory. Theres a reason they install this system at the factory and not as an option.
GL with whatever you decide
