Default Adding ABS?

Hello folks,

1991 Honda Accord, JDM H22A M/T Swapp.

Okay, so on my ownership it says that my car is an EXR. I was told by many that not having the rear disc brakes on my car indicates its only an EX.. Neways, my car didn't come equipped with ABS. Question is, how hard is it to add? Is it something I should consider? I ask this because today, I was completely locked up sliding (LITERALY) half an inch away from a M5. I didn't hit it, but I thought to myself something has to be done. My tires are OK. But I don't have ABS, any suggestions would be kindly appreciated!

Honestly? You shouldn't be driving like an asshat and should pay attention to the road.

Adding ABS is not something I would consider easy or even worthwhile. You'd be looking at running computer sensors to each wheel along with brake lines and a whole bunch of other things that your car is not equipped for.

You don't mention what tires you have, what brake pads or rotors, if you have flushed the fluid recently, etc. I would suggest starting there and then consider other things.

I have Kumho Ecsta tires. OEM Honda brakes (3 weeks ago), I haven't flushed but I will do that today.
