Last night a SOB in a SUV ( "I'm sick of these SOBs/ Driving these SUVs/ Trying to run over me when I'm in my beat-up car,", funny blues sone you should listen to it) nearly ran me off the road while changing lanes talking on the phone, while speeding. Couldn't even be bothered to stop and see if I was ok. Rashed up my rims which survived 30years nary a scratch. I had locked up the front end and contacted the curb before I let off the brakes.

Needless to say I am back on the hunt for installing ABS. Coupled with a crappy rubber boot on my non OE/M balljoints and torn up spindles, this will make for a nice upgrade. No I know in ABS models the back end has a sensor in the diff. Is this true on all models? In order to install ABS I would need either a diff with this sensor or some way to recreate or bypass the signal. Ideas?

Alternatively I could get an arduino board to control the ABS but I'd rather go OE if possible.
