    Only if you want to spend more than the car is worth - apart from new hubs you need the ABS sensing mechanism and the pump plus all the wiring etc etc plus an engineers report. Much cheaper to buy a VR with it on already in my opinion.

    As said it wouldn't be worth it though the ABS Unit used in the VS is a better unit then what was used in the VR models were abs equipped.

    As above, sell and buy a VS with abs.

    If the ABS unit in the VS is better than the ABS unit in the VR can you swap them over? ie. fit the VS unit into a VR. What is it that makes the VS a better ABS unit?

    no computer (abs module) uses differnt "wave signal" from sensors would be far too costly

    there is a reaction time for the module and a thought process within it with advances in electronics one model variant is enough to outdo another
