Default quick brake conversion question

on my previous 94 ex it has abs and 4 wheel disc. and on my current ex it only has front disc. im gonna do the whole rear disc brake conversion but i was wondering if i could use the current brake booster, M/c, and prop valves cause i wont have abs. or should i use them from the other car

i did a brake conversion on my 93 dx i put 92 si rear brakes on it but it also didnt have abs,and didnt change the brake booster and they work just fine, but you have abs so i really dont know for sure but think it should work the same but just keep asking around to be on the safe side. good luck

I never changed the PV, MC, or BB when I swapped it my rear disks. It will brake just fine, little better than stock drums. But since then I've gotten Integra front brakes and changed them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the prop valve is the same on the Tegs (except the ITR). The EG Si will also work.

Just take off all the abs stuff from the donor brakes and swap it over, don't need to change anything else. I would also reccomend upgrading to SS lines @ all 4 corners for improved feel and get good rotors/pads. I did mine in about 12-15 hours(working only 3-4 hours a day, right after school till I got dark and really taking my time) because of stuborn *** bolts for the trailing arm and a serious lack of air tools (none to be exact)....If your like me with no airtools just be prepared to bust some knuckles and use lots of the liquid wrench stuff
