Default Hassle to add ABS?

What kind of work would it be to try to put ABS in my car? i know i would need some parts before hand...but is it worth it?

IMO its not worth it. It would also be alot of work and money. You would be looking at 2 front hubs, 2 rear hubs an ABS motor all the wiring a computer to tell the ABS when to engage. That is if it is even possible. Im not sure that it can even be down. But i guess if u have enough money darn near anything can be done.
