I've got ABS on my '91 convertible, and I think the brake bomb is going. That's $300+ ish costing. I don't really like the feel of ABS brakes as well compared to my 88 900T or '69 E-type. Newer 9-3/9-5 brakes are fine, but I'd prefer non-abs for the purposes of getting sideways and having fun.
In the snow on the OEM dunlop tires (bad combo), I could stop my Viggen quicker in 1" of snow by being gentle with the brakes compared to stomping the pedal and letting ABS work. In the summer Viggen/9-5 ABS rocks for quick stops, but I don't try non-ABS hard stops much since I wish to preserve my tires.
