Ive been looking for 96-00 civic ex coupes lately, and I was wondering what are my chances of getting an ex coupe with ABS. I talked to a local Honda dealership, and the guy working there told me that all ex coupes have ABS as standard equipment. Is this true, and if its not, how can I find out if the car has ABS other than by looking at the VIN number. Also, does anyone know how many coupes came with ABS in 96-00?

 

no they come as an option on the 96-00 EXs.

 

Pop the hood and look behind the passenger headlight. If there's a bigass boxy thing with brake lines coming out of it, bingo ABS.

 

would a DX have abs?

 

I thought ABS was only standard on EX sedans, and optional on EX coupes

 

It's not standard. If the EX has ABS it will have 4 wheel disc brakes.

 

How is it not standard on the 96-00? I have a 95, and I'm about 95% certain that it is standard on the EXs in my generation, sans maybe the 92s.

My friend has a 96 couple, she has ABS.

 

its not standard. i have bout 5 friends that have 6gen civics, dxs and exs and none of them have abs. it was an option. on the 5g civics it was also an option on the EX and Si.

 

you can have abs with rear drums...they have it on the 2001 four door civics with rear drums

 

According to Honda's official site, ABS was optional on Coupes with Automatic transmissions, and standard on all Sedans for the 6th generation
