Hi, I'm after information about installing ABS to a 02 Lancer VR-X CG. What list of components would I need & what parts already on the car would need to be changed to accommodate it? Thanks

Your VR-X is kind of a mixture of cars both from Japan and Australia. The only way to ecomonically install ABS is to buy a wrecked car with your basic drive line. I think a Mirage would fit.

It will require a complete brake system, axles, wiring harness and ABS computer. It will probably cost at least $4,000 for the job unless you have a like model to take parts. Then you are looking at at least $2,000 labor. Good luck
