All cars without ABS have the mechanical proportioning valve, and all cars with ABS have EBD, EDS, or whatever you want to call it. I do remember reading a recall on the thing for cars without ABS. My 6000 has Bosch ABS, and the 6000 and the Mystique have about the same braking performance I'd say. They both stop in a short distance, and they both have great ABS systems.
