How-to needed: How to add ABS to an orginal non ABS car

Has anyone swapped ABS into thier car? If so, what parts did you use and how did you do it?

How about the R/T traction control feature?

IIRC you will need everything from the master cylinder, to the sensors , there are proportioning valves, maybe separate controller, front axles, probably new hard lines if ABS ones are a different length. In theory you could end up spending what your car is worth just in parts.

In addition, to make the traction control feature work, you will need the R/T PCM. The switch and wiring too of course.

Someone on here a few years back was really gung-ho about adding ABS to their car. AFAIK it never came to be.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Gnuserup (SP?) :lol:


Just search, there was a fairly decent thread about it.
