Looking at it from that perspective you are entirely correct, of course. I guess I should have made it clear to say that it would not be easily possible, if at all, to convert a non ABS FWD to an ABS AWD car.

I ran ABS hubs on my FWD non ABS car for one bearing iteration. (removed them from my parts car) Once I replaced the bearings, I put the correct hubs back on.
