There is a mechanical "shock absorber" that "T"s into the front (or rear) brake
lines that is supposed to work if you believe the sales literature. The stopping
results are impressive, beating GM electronlc antilock easily. It's >$200 so I
didn't install one on my Cobra, but I have trouble locking the brakes anyway. The
Idea has merit... somebody should try it, after all, brakes are a mechanical
device.....

PS.  It was in JC Whitney, Jegs, Summit, Speedway, or a car builder magazine but
I don't remember.
