It could just be the brevity of the ad, but I don't see how you can have ABS without wheel sensors and I don't see the point period if it doesn't isolate each wheel (which something that "bolts onto the master cylinder" clearly can not do.)

I would think that the benefits of something that simply pulsates the brakes with no consideration of the individual wheel to shaft rpm ratio is dubious, at best.

I would want to see an independant lab test of the thing before I coughed up $450.00 for it.

Just curious, but does anybody know what this "thingy" looks like?
