L to RS conversion (brake question)

elcorazon01 · 02-09-2005, 08:00 PM

I got complete front and rear brake parts from an '00 RS which I plan to swap onto my '96. Is it going to be a problem that the RS parts were from a car with ABS (has the ring that the sensor uses to read wheel speed) and my car does not? I can't imagine that there would be anything, but I thought I'd ask before I put all this stuff on. Thanks a lot.

No problem. Your car won't know the difference. Just to make sure, you do have 15" wheels or bigger right?

Have fun!,

Just tie off the sensors leads or cut them off. Keep the sensor in the backing plate to stop crud from getting in.
