do pre 98 models have abs?

i read somewhere they have 3 channel abs and after 97 4 channel?

wondering if this was true and what it means?

 

Early models have 2 channel (up to 95?) 3 channel up to 98 and 4 channel from 99 onwards i think.

mate whats the difference???

does it effect the braking performance?

 

2 channel controls both wheels on the front or rear, so they operate as 1, 1 locks releases, both do, 3 channel is similar but independent on the front where as 1 can lock and release but if the other has grip it will act as normal, rears will act as 1, 4 channel, all wheels are indepenent and will lock/release indepenently.
Hope that makes sense?

i wanna purchase a scooby...but limited funds...about 7 grand..

would u go for a pre 98 with 3 channel abs...or after 97 with 4 channel? does it make that much of a difference???

 

You probably wont notice it, the difference between the 3 and 4 channel is all in the rear 2 wheels, its the front that you want, but even then, it will be difficult to tell if you have 2/3 or 4 channel as it still works in the same manner, just not all independently.
