Ford 9 inch ABS options.
Greetings from the other side of the pond.
I own the only Ford 9 inch converted s2000 in the UK so information is very limited....
Currently my brakes are near enough non existent.. I've bled them numerous time, back bled them etc etc and still nothing works (I had the same big brake kit on my old N/A ABS fitted S2000 and they were perfect) so maybe the ABS system helped with the braking quite a lot? I currently have the ABS system deleted as I have a tucked and shaved bay and ran the AEM v2 ecu. I have upgraded to the Infinity ecu and noticed that ecu traction control is now an option which got me thinking... would installing the ABS back into the car be an option with the ford 9 inch rear axle?
Has anyone with the ford 9 inch conversion attempted to retrofit ABS?
I'm trying to find as much info on it as possible.. the ford 9 inch rear axle (in general) over here is not used in our ford cars (most fords here are FWD) so I cant seem to find which rear axle I have specifically to pinpoint the info on.
My idea would be to adapt the ford rear axle to run the same ABS ring that the s2000 rear axle uses, maybe hub side? Create a bracket to hold the ABS sensor in place, maybe extending wires to suit the sensor placement etc etc?
Thoughts? Ideas? Info?
Many thanks.
