Guest SubeWitSubs Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I've got a 95 Legacy sedan without ABS. Is it very hard to add ABS to this car and if so what all would i need? Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Legacy777 Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yes it would be a major undertaking and a real pain in the butt to do this. Wouldn't be worth the time. You'd need to swap master cylinders, all brake hard lines, abs unit, wiring to the unit, abs brain, tone sensors for all wheels.....and there's probably more. Just not worth it IMO.

Guest SubeWitSubs Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Well damn. Maybe i'll need to learn to be my own abs system. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meep424 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yea. all these automatic systems can detract from the driving experience anyway IMO. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Legacy777 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 agreed. In certain circumstances I wouldn't mind having ABS, but if a car is setup properly for braking and/or handling. I'd rather not have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest remarcable Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 ABS keeps me from flat-spotting my tires. It also sucks on dirt roads. The closest I have come to disaster was result of idiotic over-active ABS system on a dirt road. I know I should have pulled the fuse but I didn't think it would work so horribly on snow/dirt. Now I pull the fuse when I'm off pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scoobtech Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I would prefer ABS just for the insurance discount . :rollin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TinyClark Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 ABS saved my rump roast several times on the icey intersections in Anchorage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 99obw Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 What I hate is I have one ABS car and one non-ABS car. I find myself driving the non-ABS car like an ABS car, then I look down and the speedometer is at 0. AAAAHHHHH! Let off the brake dummy! LOL We live on a dirt road and I have never had a problem stopping with the suby ABS. 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
