Talking We're SPECIAL! Wonder how many were made without ABS?
I'm so glad kcfoxie's brought this up!
I too have a '98 with no ABS - found that out one of the first times it rained. Nothing serious, but the wheels locked up with assertive braking.
Good to know I'm not alone in this
I have power windows, manual trans, 4 air bags, no sunroof (thank goodness ) I'm not much of a sunroof person, and knowing the ammt of woe one can cause, I'm glad for that omission.
Is it possible to install ABS into my 98' NB? How much would it cost?
