Don't press so hard. :pface I love my S13 for not having ABS. It is possible, but a little bit of a chore.

It was an option on S13's and not sure if it was standard on the HICAS ones or not. Still gonna be a pain in the arse.....more work than it's worth in my opinion.

I've driven my S13 in the rain all the time, and i've only locked em up once and thats cuz i wanted to see how hard i could push the breaks before they'd lock up, simply take it easy on em, dont slam the brakes and u'll be fine, i lock up my dads car with ABS all the time in the rain so ABS aint no god. And if you hate your brakes as you put it, get new rotors/pads and some SS brake lines, or if you hate em that much get a big break kit, it'd prolly be a less pain in the *** than the ABS conversion.
