abs brake conversion 01 dx hey everyone, on the way to work this morning an juuuuust missed T bone collision on wet roads tampa fl. i have a 02 ex with abs and an 01 dx without. had i been in my 02 it woulda been an easy stop. my girl usually drives the 01 dx, she would've wrecked my car. 
soooo, how do i conv the 01 before i loose the car. i would consider it an investment to a car i've put alot of money into already so im more interested in the how rather than the if its worth it deal. nice EM2's are hard to find that someone hasn't ripped thru an altered the hell out of.
so far this is all i can find on the subject:
(You'll need to run a TON of brake lines, meaning bending pipe, flaring ends, etc. You'll need the ABS unit itself, the fuse box for it, new knuckles that have the mounting for the abs sensors, the sensors, new rear hubs and front axles with the ring gear for the sensor on them, and I'm sure more.)
anyone else have any insight. by the way i will eventually be doing the SI rear disc conversion on both cars anyways. bout a grand just to do that as it is.

Re: abs brake conversion 01 dx
i can see from your thingie on the key programming that you are handy.
sorry, in your first post, i think you got everything required? don't have any additional items.
maybe yo could get away with zip-tying the ABS wires on the suspension - i do that on my mazda miata.
