School and learn threshold braking techniques. Ask professional drivers about ABS and most don't want it - FI excepted and their electronic componetry for braking alone would buy you a fleet of Saabs with ABS. Just remember we all drove cars for decades without ABS and most of us survived. My first car, a 1934 Chev bought in 1958, had mechanical rod brakes, I learned to leave the appropriate distance to allow safe stops. These days, although we drive the 1987 T900S convertible with enthusiasm we understand distance to stop from various speeds. Our 1996 900S, when it does its ABS stutter braking on slippery roads that reminds us to ease off. Conversion to ABS is just too risky a business, prior knowledge of the robustness of the electronics and the headaches debugging the final install seem too steep a solution to a non-problem. My $0.02.
