So how do I tell if I have ABS?
Car is as sig says - I think its a August build, dunno if that helps though. Is there anything on the plates that would say if it does? Is the control unit thingo in the bumper on EFs? Should I just look there? |

Easy way to test though is to find a safe place and jump on the brakes - you'll soon know whether it has ABS or not!

Thanks champ
![]() I thought so, just wanted to make sure. Also, does it matter about ABS and non ABS rotors? I've seen a few advertised that supposedly fit both. Those X-drilled and slotted gold DBA rotors look mighty nice.... |

why don't you wait for a rainy day and test it your self. You'll know if you have it or not and if it works or not.
Find a safe spot, go 50km/h and try braking heavily. You should feel it work. It's a good way to learn what to expect and how the car behaves, try steering while breaking etc. Good luck and BE SAFE |

Why don't you turn the key and see if the ABS light comes up on the dash?

PUt your car half on gravel half on the road and slam on the breaks, should stop dead straight with abs ;),
orrr, if you look on the RHS of the engine bay near the airbox, on the body of the car is a round black rubber screw thing, thats your abs pump...
