Non-ABS coilovers into ABS car

Just realized that the car I previous had these coilovers in didn't have ABS. Seems like there are three options for using these in my 1993 245:

Option 1: Don't use ABS. Pull whatever's necessary to stop the car from yelling at me, etc.

Option 2: Send these back to JVAB, plus new cores, to be remade for ABS.

Option 3: Drill and tap a spot for the wheel sensor. Has anyone successfully done this?

Thoughts? I'd like to keep ABS if reasonably possible, as it's a nice safety feature for a nice weather / weekend car.
 
You can't drill and tap for ABS on non ABS 240 knuckles if you're using the stock ABS rings. The diameter is too large. Following the Buchka's example, I machined a bracket and welded it on. It worked fine.
