It's cheaper to buy an ABS car.

You'll need:

front spindles
front hubs
front wheel sensors
underhood harness
engine harness
passenger side subharness
tail harness
ABS actuator
ABS control unit
master cylinder
underhood brake lines
diff with rear sensor

Basically an entire car's worth of parts. All to add a primitive 3channel ABS system that was only deemed 'average' 13 years ago.

manual brake pedal modulation

Once you master good braking techniques, you wont want ABS (as much....)

A skilled driver is way more safe than an old ass ABS system. If it was a new car with integrated traction control, ESP, and other systems I'd say add it or a find a car with it all, but the S14 system is light years away from being a good design.
