Re: Fit ABS to a Sciroco?



Retrofitting ABS.  Now that would be a project!  Before you start, do you have performance pads like Ferodos on yet?  Do you have stainless braided brake lines or teflon lines?  Do you have fresh, high
grade brake fluid yet?  Slotted rotors?  I think you'd be amazed at the stopping power and pedal modulation feel your car would have if you had just the pads and the lines, let alone the other stuff.
IMHO...
