The ones off of your stock rear drums won't work, ran into the same problem with my rear disc swap. I got both sensors, yet my ABS light still came on

I think the fronts are the same.
Are you doing base/ep3 front calipers/rotors or type S?

The fronts should be OK. If I have a minute tomorrow, I'll pull one of my front wheels off and take a look. I have a EP3 front sensor to compare it to.

naw, they aren't the same, get rsx front sensors. the axle gets in the way of the sensor and it'll tear that sensor to pieces.

get rsx-s ones.
