Calipers are the same, doesn't matter whether the car has ABS or not.

Mechanically and phyiscally: nothing.

However, a computer is hooked up to the braking system to prevent locking.

there is a tone wheel on the hub that tells when the wheel is slipping. The proportioning valve on the abs cars is also different, but it's not that huge a deal.
