Default Do all Imprezas have ABS

Just Wondered as I've just bought a 95 JDM WRX & it doesn't seem to have an ABS warning light. I suppose I'll just have to hit the brakes hard to find out.

Some early WRX's dont, STI type R and RA dont. If you have a look in the engine next to the airbox that is where the ABS unit is normally located, if there is one there then you have ABS.

My '93 has it, so it was at least an option as early as then.

I've used my brain for every other car I've had. Would of been nice to have ABS for a change.
