saw the post on changing from manual to power seats and wondered if anyone has converted the regular brakes over to ABS. I've got a 86 sitting in the backyard that has ABS, but the 84 I'm driving now doesn't. Haven't really considered changing the brake or necessarily needing ABS till I tried to stop after a light rain in the 84 and slid for several feet. Thought maybe it was because of oil on the road surface because I didn't apply much force to the pedal, but I've been able to recreate this lockup with little effort on straight patch of road away from stop lights and signs. Anyone else here with similar problem with regular vs. ABS brakes?
Joseph
