Default VSA solution?

I believe that Honda use the same failure prone active braking / abs block as many other manufacturers.
This post on the E90 forum is very interesting and might offer an econimical repair for cars out of warranty:

Are you considering doing it?

I have got to move mine to fit a heatshield between my Turbo and abs/servo, ect. It may be worth killing 2 birds with one stone and fitting one whilst I'm at it.... Let me know how you get on.... Well spotted.

Tricky that, if you did just "chuck it out" then you'd also be left with no abs.

Or traction control if you go down the AEM route.

You Sir have a point there

The thought of driving mine(when it is running that is )in damp conditions without some sort of traction control scares me.If it is a "crutch for a bad driver" then I will hold my hands up to that.
