Upgrade to ABS? Possible? Practical?

Or you could just learn to brake. If you brake in short pumps during a problem it is very similar to ABS, and can help. Its just that most people don't operate well in an emergency. So you will have to know for yourself if you can handle that.

I know very well how to brake. Please teach me how to modulate the pedal in such a way as to control all four brakes independently and simultaneously, adjusting the braking force for each wheel at least, say, 3 times per second. I've just never quite gotten the hang of that trick. If I'd panicked and just slammed on the brakes I well might not be here to post this now.

How about a hint? Does pressure on different parts of the brake pedal control different wheel cylinders? Should I start a program of toe exercises, similar to finger strength exercises which piano teachers have their students do? I need some help here. ;-)

The reason I was slightly annoyed with your response is that I carefully used the phrase "pulsed the brakes" in my previous post in order to *avoid* this side-discussion.

Well Steve,

It just sounds like you need to read up a bit.





LOL, I am just pulling your chain dude. I am sure you know how to drive....

Thanks for that. I was just about to place my order.
