    Icon5 Abs conversion

    Here is the deal. I almost got into a accident the other day (wheels locked up in the rain) and now I think I rather have a car that has abs. Just wondering if anyone has converted there I4 with abs from a v6 model. Really don't want to get another car but that is something I can't do without. Also would like to know how well you v6 guys thought the abs system performs in your rides. So basically I just need to know if it is possible and worth the hastle or should I just look into buying another ride.

    Get better tires and dont slam the brakes? Ive never had my tires lock up under heavy braking in rain only in snow and/or ice. I personally prefer cars without TCS STM and ABS.

    abs worked fine on my car when I drove it in the winter, but now I enjoy it much better that it's gone. But I'll keep the abs in my winter car.

    ive asked this before. there is no ABS bolt on. your best bet is beffing up your brakes and getting better tires.
