That's your problem right there. You could covert it to abs, but why do that when you can learn how to use you brake more properly.

I live in florida and all there is are Tourist or old people on the road. They are always pulling out in front of you on the highways and you have to SLAM and I mean SLAM on your brakes. I do obey all speed limits and dont ride people's ***.

bro i live in the bay area and theres are millions of ppl here and hella bad drivers and rubberneckers etc and i have never slammed on my brakes and locked them up and i dont have abs. keep your eyes open and try to predict what drivers are gonna do, u live there u shouldnt know how they drive. abs is overrated

if u drive the speed limit u shouldnt have to always lock em up

uhh.. you guys OBVIOUSLY don't live in florida..

Florida is where all the bad drivers live - i swear

like del sol said.. people pull out in front of you people cut you off at any given moment..

Highway 50 that goes from the west coast of florida to the east coast - im pretty sure it's the most accident highway in the US

AND.. it also rains pretty much everyday during the summer and no ABS+rain.. doesn't work too well

Technically yes you could add ABS to a del sol. I believe the Si and/or VTEC even came with it. But here's your problem:

You have to get the

ABS computer and its wire harness. in my coupe i goes in the trunk
abs hard lines
ABS steering knuckles (2), speed sensors (4) and their wire harnesses
Rear hubs (2)
New axles
ABS Modulator and its mounting brackets
ABS fuse box wire harness and relays
new gauge cluster


Thats not even all the parts, I hope that a certain thought is coming to your mind.....

You could always pump the brake pedal with your foot if your quick enough &lt;ghetto ABS&gt;. HalfANp's list should give you an idea what to get for your ABS swap.
