What up i have a 1998 civic lx, like i said i do not have anti lock brakes and i was just wondering if there is anyway for me to get them somehow. Thanks all.

 

can someone please share their knowledge???

 

buy a EX model... but seriously it takes a whole bunch of parts and labor that its not worth it. any1 else feel free to tell him what parts he would need. its 2:45a and im going to bed!!

 

so would it be a stretch to say i don't even need abs?

 

ABS is good on the track, your abs-less car will never be as good as one with ABS bc it has the ability to control each wheel independantly while as in a abs-less car when you brake, all wheels brake.

You probably dont need ABS but yeah its good to have in those situations of close accidents and snow,etc. Im not sure how you would go about doing it but yeah do a few searches and wait for replies too. Good luck

 

ABS is awesome but its too much work, time, and effort to put it in.

Just get some super sticky tires with some nice pads and you shouldnt have to worry about skidding as much.

 

so would a bbk just make me skid out faster or would it legitimately help out?

 

bumppp

 

abs is for ppl who cant drive thats all

 

x2 if your buildidng a track car then yes you need abs but if your gonna use your car for just driving around your city then there is no point in having it just drive safe you can be the best driver in the world but other people may not be.. know what i mean

 

you can just pump the pedal instead of abs....not worth the time

 

I disagree. In snow ABS sucks. You stop faster when you lock up and have a pile of snow build up infront of the tires, rather then making a pile and driving over it, like it would with ABS, since it skips your braking.

yeah, it does. It doesn't work nearly as well in theory as it does in practice, and I find it somewhat unpredictable in some vehicles.

To the OP, adding ABS is a pain in the ***, you need to replace the master cylinder, possibly the brake booster, all the brake hardlines, you have to add the ABS pump, the dummy prop valve, wiring etc.

 

just do some crunches dude!theyll starts popin out!
