I've never heard of an aftermarket system on any car, if it exists it'll be very expensive and a pain to fit and maintain. A mini's not really the type of car to fit it in anyway. I reckon your best bet would be to take some advanced driving tuition. In theory a car without abs can stop faster with a skillful driver because of the abs valves oscillation.

All Minis are fitted with an anti-lock braking system, it's called pumping the brake pedal when you're skidding.

^^ i think Your referring to cadence braking, it Can also result in weight transfers which can unsetlle the car.

In theory, yes, but in reality, no.

But it's not something that can be fitted after market really.

Take your brake servo out.... Basically leaves you with anti-locking brakes... :shifty:
