abs sensors, inc all wiring
new brakelines
the abs unit
new rear drums with the sensors on
new drivehafts with the sensors on
and then i think it has to be wired to the ecu and dials aswell

you only need the sensors and hubs for the traction control system (i think)

The ABS sensors are usualy on the disk, not the driveshaft. Fitting ABS would be the biggest pain in the arse imagable. It would be easier to sell up and but a car with it on. And fitting traction control would also be a complete n'mare.
