GeneralDisorder Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Nope. 89 Legacy Turbo would be the first model/year for ABS in Japan. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 the XT6s were also available with ABS in japan, one of the very first reports written on the XT6 was based on a JDM one, with ABS. but to be honest, I highly doubt the effectiveness of those systems, as even newer generation systems weren't fool/fail-proof (jabbing the brake caused the wheel to stop turning, ABS thinks you're stationairy and thus doesn't do a thing about it ) so these earlier ones probably aren't much better.

Numbchux Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 ^agreed. until the last 5 years or so, subaru ABS systems are terrible. worst part is, if it senses that one wheel is slipping, it interferes with all 4 wheels, even if the other 3 have traction. it's kind of scary when you're mashing the brake pedal, and the ABS is interfering with it, then you grab the ebrake handle and magically....the car stops.
