I'm getting ready to order a kit, and I was curious about whether the ABS could be made to work. A lot of what was mentioned here does suggest that its complexities would make it unworkable on the Goblin.
However, my donor car is a SS/SC LSJ, and the ABS system in that car is a lot simpler than the other Cobalt models for the most part. It does ABS only with Electronic Brake Force Distribution. No traction control, no stability, etc.
I am wondering whether you can just set its front channels to the rear wheels and vice versa. Considering the hubs' sensors are in the reverse position (front to back), but at the same time as others have noted, the front brakes get light compared to the rears instead of the other way around. In theory, it might work routing the rear master cylinder line to the front ABS channel to the rear wheels, and the rear master cylinder line to the rear ABS channel to the front wheels.
IF that were to work, the biggest issue might be how to keep the sensors on the Goblin's front wheels intact. It looks like they have to be taken out because of the steering piece that is on the DF front spindle.
Thoughts on this?
