Brakes: A viable alternative to AP brakes?

[keithf]

"However, the four wheel anti-lock brake systems as fitted to our FWD Volvo cars can modulate fluid pressure to all four wheels individually while taking into consideration each wheels changing CofF thus enabling each tyre to give its max traction under braking even while braking into a corner."

Sorry the above should have been quoted from an above post!

I've only had my 1995 850 T5 for a couple of months and havn't been near the brakes yet! Do all the 850's have four wheel ABS?
I've never (in my limited experience) seen ABS on the rear of a car before (but then I never had such a high powered car before).

Your 850 will have an ABS sensor for each wheel but both rear calipers are fed off one pipe so your system is incapable ofreducing braking on just one rear wheel.

1998 on Phase one cars (S/V/C 70) have seperate feeds to each wheel so can reduce braking to any one wheel.
