Doable, but costly:

Doesn't JC Whitney (a Google search will find this one...) have/offer/make a sort of pseudo-ABS kit? I think I saw something like that in one of their magazines, but it was a while ago. Other than that, I don't think so...

 

I asked someone at my local Nissan dealer that one time for my 94 SE and they thought I was crazy.

 

My friend asked that at a dealership in NYC and the service guy got very very upset. He said not to ask them to do things that are illegal. What that meant, I don't know? My buddy picked up one of those brand new stripped GXE's back in'99 for $16,995 but it had no ABS and no electric antenna.

 

anythings possible with the dough to back it up

 

for my 4th gen max is because everytime i brake hard...my wheels lock up and cause the front end to dip heavily causing the car to basically skid out of control..

i've gotten into 3 bad wrecks already..twice i slammed into a curb because my wheels locked up, 3rd time i slammed into another car
my 1st accident happend when i had only 10k mils on the car, 2nd accident 12k, 3rd accident at 20k...


is there any way to have the rear brakes apply more pressue than the front brakes?

i'm not sure if i'm the only one who has this kind of problem.. or if there's a recall

maybe its me whos at fault perhaps or the car is just bad luck

any suggestions?

 

Sounds lilke you need new tires and some serious driving lessons.

 

Never get yourself into a situation where you have to slam on your brakes really hard.

Sometimes slamming on brakes is unavoidable, but from what you posted, it seems like you're braking hard a lot.

ABS is in there just in case and to help you out, not as a replacement for paying attention while driving.

 

you don't need ABS.. you need to learn how to drive.. ABS won't fix your problem

 

Leave more distance between you and the car in front of you, and learn to read the road conditions ahead to see if you need to slow down early.

Look what you done did...you made me sound like my father.

 

You need driving lessons

Other than that sell your car and get another 99 or a 2000 that do have abs.

 

i didn't know they sell ones without electric antennas...that is weird wylde stuff.



my old mechanic actually said he hated abs and said he wouldn't want a car with them.
