Re: Fit ABS to a Sciroco?

["Richard Deede" <delrocco@hotmail.com>]

I have to agree with Jim here, my car makes quite a bit of power and Im 
stopping with stock rotors, ferodo pads, and stainless lines, and this thing 
stops quick. If I ever really needed to stop any quicker, which I really 
don't feel the need for, I'd invest in some slotted rotors, but I really 
don't think ABS is the way to go to make you stop quicker.
