How hard would it be to convert a non abs to abs and if possible can anyone give me a list of things I would need other than cash.

I guess so being that you have a GT and i have a ST. But if your breaking in turns then you arent using proper driving techniques in the first place so you never know what might happen smile.gif Professional Racing doesnt usually use ABS...ABS is a driver aiding system. It doesnt allow you to stop faster..it allows you to stop more controllably (especially in low traction situations such as rain and snow). They had a test on Motor Trend TV once where Mario Andretti actually outstopped a ABS car with a non-ABS car. For the majority of people ABS is a good thing in emergency situations...SPECIALLY people that break WHILE cornering hard smile.gif For people that race and know how to drive VERY well they usually would like non-ABS...
