If your car doesn't have ABS, it would be a bitch to add it. I know this, 'cause I'm in the process of trying to REMOVE mine in my Prelude. All the break lines are the factory hard-lines, and these are customized to fit the prelude. I've found that I'm going to have to run aftermarket steel braided brake lines to the master cylinder and to each of the breaks to replace these. And yes, there is a ABS control module (the size of your ECU) that goes along with the ABS itself. Another problem will be your axels themselves. They have ABS rings on the hub side of the axel that you'll need (I've seen people take these off ABS axels and mount them on non-ABS ones though; more work!) and sensors that monitor them.

If you ask me, it'll be an ***-lode of work to ADD it. Anyway, ABS doesn't make you a better driver. Learn to break closer the the lock-up threshold without locking them up, and that WILL make you a better driver because of it.
