Any word on whether or not this applies to 5MT RS's? I
hate the ABS. It's downright scary when you are braking
over potholes.

One no-brainer reason to have it done - if you are involved in an accident
where the change in the ECU may have made a difference, you've got no leg to
stand on. SOA will be able to say the retrofit was offered, but you
refused.

they said "better feel" but "no perceptible difference in overall
stopping distance", so it shouldn't really make much difference in a
crash, either.

but i find the abs on my '02 legacy wagon sounds and feels horrible.
and it kicks in at stop signs and potholes, when i would really prefer
it not to.

unfortunately, i don't think it applies to the legacy. and i've got
some nice, fancy, aftermarket brake components on the car, which subie
dealers probably don't want to know about.

shucks!
