No the VP did not have ABS unfortunately.
Front end if you go with the front end (struts possible lower control arms and hubs) off the VR as well it will have all you need as the sensors are part of the hub.
Not 100% on compatibility of these parts though |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

| you don't need abs just fit bigger brakes such as a ve brake upgrade or the cheaper vt kit and a decent rim size 17" or bigger will pull the car up fine and you should upgrade your brake master cylinder to a 1" if not already. up to you. just my opinion |

| nope different diameter shocker posts if you know some one with a plasma cutter and welder you can modify the vr tops by cutting to shape and welding an extra plate to add strength it will also change where the camber is controlled from , alternatly i have been told there are shock inserts that are interchangeable with vn units that have the correct size post to fit vn tops but doing it this way will put camber up the **** |
Save a dim sim fry tyres instead. |

I stand corrected -
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was introduced in August 1992, and was an option on cars fitted with a V8 and IRS, then on the Series II it was available as an option on all models. |
