Default Converting civic to ABS

I have a 94 civic Si, already has disk brakes. Will I need to switch over my brakes to accept the wheel speed sensors for ABS?

Are you trying to put ABS on your car?

If you are it will cost WAY more than it's worth and take WAY to much time. You have to change ALL of your brake lines, wire it up, get an ECU with ABS, and much more.

does anyone know what that website is where you can look up factory honda parts and buy them for discount? They have pretty in depth diagrams i was thinking I might be able to tell by looking at that. I just can't remember the name of the site.

Cool, I already have the wheel speed sensors. I just need to find out if I am going to be able to hook them up to my 94 civic disk brake set up. (Im not actually trying to run full ABS, just the wheel speed sensors for ABS)

It would be less expensive and simpler to sell your car and by one with the ABS unit installed....

you're gonna need EX sedan drive axles too.

If you have 4 wheel disc are you sure you don't already have ABS?

Trust me, I definitly don't have ABS.

As for EX sedan drive axles.... The car has a GSR engine, and I am using Gator axles. My Gator dealer just informed me that he can add the ring on for me.

Ok, cool, far as I know you just need the wheel speed sensor and the exciter ring on the drive axle.
