   it is possible.
   
   worth it no.
   
   Will need to change the master cyl get teh sensors and wiring also need the abs ecu that sits behind the battery.
   
   Mine broke instantly and is a very common problem for them to break, dont waste your time.
   
   not sure if would have to drill the car for the rear wires or if there is a hole with a bung in it.
   will need to lift the carpets to run the wiring aswel.
   
   Really not worth it, people normally remvoe it not add it
