    Question

    I hate having a DX sometimes! Does anyone know if it's possible to equip a non-ABS civic with ABS? I know that most big brake set-ups require the car to be ABS and besides, it seems like a much safer way to go if I'm driving so fast. Just thought I'd ask. I would like to get the integra disk conversion for the rear too. Couldn't I use the teg's ABS?

    Why dont you just upgrade to GSR brakes on all corners??...that will make a big difference in stopping power!!thats what most of us Hybrid guys do....dont bother with the ABS...I wont say its impossible to do but will probaly cost way more than a big brake upgrade kit

    EXACTLY !!!
    It takes a LOT of $$$ and a LOT of labor. Remember that there is a huge amount of wiring... an ABS ECU... a plethorea of hard lines... different axles... different hubs... obviously new discs at all four corners with calipers... an ABS pump/resevoir and a bulb for your gauge cluster.

    I say stick to manual brakes and do what CivicR said above... swap in a complete GSR set front and rear and be done with it.
