ABS is the most retarded thing designed for old ladys and ppl that cant drive. if you think you need ABS you either need to fix your brakes , get stickier tires, or learn to drive. not trying to hate but ABS is another way technology is taking away for the driver's full control of the car. i have STOCK brakes and i drive the **** out of my car and never have i ever had a problem stopping unless the roads were soaked and my tires were bald.

I hate abs so theres no way Id want it on my Mustang.

When I bought my Elantra I chose the one off the lot without abs. I was thrilled that it was optional and not standard.

I cant stand driving a car with abs. I feel like I dont have control of the brakes when they start doing that stupid pulsating thing abs makes them do.

My bud had a 1987 tbird turbocoupe it had abs, man that thing was NICE it handled so well, had great stopping ability: well it DID have 4x disc brakes and the 4 banger was lighter, so overall brakiung system was more optimized


on that note:
OH YEAH a few hours ago I found a 1987 turbocoupe in the junk yard took its rear disc hardware and the pedal assemb.
I hope to help out my fox mustang brakes with these pieces and the correct offset bracket thats availabvle out there
the t5 was gone but yeah! (oh man the front of the car was perfect, the nose and fenders truly 100% <drools>

Im sick I want to put that on a fox mustang!!!!!!

I wish it was there (no engine or trans)
I wanted so many more parts off it, I would crawl over it chewing it down bit by bit like an ant on a sweet carcass

did get the clutch master cylinder with pushrod, resavoir and mounting bracket, got 100% of the pedal assmb. and ALL its sensors, etc was a good find!!

Haa ah they had to kick me out, I was working 'till the last second.. The cashier was a little **** w/ her b's hanging out - smoking a cig she gave me 3x $10 discounts and charged me 1$ for almost every part I paid $65 for a cart full o' trudbird trubo
