Question ABS on all models...or not?

Looking at the various SVXes offered on Ebay, it looks like not all models came with ABS - thus what appears to be a big empty space in front of the air filter housing on the passenger's side of the engine compartment. Anyone know if this was a Subaru decision, or is it that some owners have pulled the ABS out of their vehicles?
Thanks.
-Bill

All 92, 93, 96, and 97 models had it standard. 94 and 95 models had it in the LSi and L with "Safety AWD package" that included ABS.

Yes, Bill. I know it's hard to believe, but some models did not come with ABS, especially the FWD's.

abs is evil, i have a 94 fwd and all abs would do is save my life and block my intake from getting direct flow when headlight is removed at track. I was surprised ut yea they didn't have abs unless it was specified some years

Everyone else did it so I did the same thing....


I don't like ABS when I'm flying down gravel, so I'll pull the fuse (in whatever car I'm in)...
