why would you want ABS? Just gonna add extra weight. If you want better stopping power, upgrade tires and brakes. Just my opinion.

it would involve a lot of custom work. get a canadian SiR ABS conversion if you really want ABS in your EK. All the lines and modulator and wiring will bolt and plug right up (i think!). I've seen an EG with an ITR ABS system in it, pretty dope. Why does Honda of America screw us over so bad by not giving us all the cool options that are available in JP?

From what I have read the ITR antilock system performs differently than the other models. Also, ABS doesn't suck. So the answer is noone has done it yet that has seen this post. Ok guys, thanks.

Okay well i personally hate ABS for more than one reason... Reason number 1, you it adds more weight, #2 it looks ugly in the engine bay, and finally #3 when are you really going to need it on an EK... For slowing down at the end of the track?? If your brakes lock up then let off them.. hehe Latez

Yes ABS does suck, wanna know why? well it can **** up on you....I borrowed my friends ITR one night and was cruzin on the freeway and was wondering how well this thing will pick up so i go on it alittle bit in 4th and 5th and get up to about 130, then let off and do it again only goin about 125 this time and i was fine, but while driving around i noticed tht the ABS light was on, the next day when i brought the car back to my friend i asked him y the light was on, he said something fuked up with the ABS and if you go over 120 mph all 4 wheels will lock up, luckily they didnt while i was driving but he said it happened to him before and he wa lucky to not get in a huge wreck......so the conclusion......**** ABS!!!!
