Default ABS Master Cylinder and Booster

Will and ABS 1" MC and Booster work on a non-ABS VX hatch? I am looking new ones to go with a 5 lug, and all I am seeing is 15/16th's and ABS 1" ones?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone? I know with as many 5 lug conversions that have been done, someone has an answer. Do people just not like me?

I am just kidding about the no one liking me thing. I will try the tech forum too. Not sure about the ITR forum since this is no ITR related.

I am using an 97 GSR 1" from an ABS car on my 96 Hatch.

Depending on what car the BB/MC came from will determine if you need a larger flare fitting and bending the lines.

Does your hatch have ABS though? That is my real question...can I use an ABS BB/MC in a non-ABS car?

I believe you can, but you will have to re-flare a brake line.

All EK hatches are non abs- So yes, I did use it on my car,but did have to reflare a line with a bigger fitting. The standard ones are (10mm-1) and the bigger fitting is a (12mm-1). I just took the 12mm-1 fitting of a car with abs and cut and reflared it onto my line.
