Abs?

Hey I just baught my 1995 240 and reolized it doesnt have abs. My parents are flippen out at me because of it and i would just like to know if it can be added and if i can use S13 parts to do it (because they are a hell of a lot cheaper)

Any info will help thanks.

some s13 hicas cars had abs. you will have a ***** with hicas. you are probably better off selling the car if you want abs... you could comprimise with your parents and do a z32 n/a brake swap

if your parents thought an s chassis was overall a safe car in the first place i think they deserve a little smack

compared to most newer cars these days they are unsafe. all the damn suv's don't help either. s14's tend to go underneath other cars in a front end collision aswell.
