Upgrading brake lines - does ABS matter?
I am upgrading my brake lines to a braided stainless steel set.
My current configuration is:
'93 DX Chassis -- never had ABS
Si/EX front disc, non-ABS
Integra rear disc
Do I buy lines for a 92-95 EX w/ ABS, 92-95 EX w/o ABS, or DX (Goodridge lists them as different part#s)?
Or, are the lines just chassis dependent? Is there a difference between ABS and non-ABS lines?
Thanks

The swap you purchased is that off a car with ABS? Did you replace any other brake parts? Master cylinder? etc? I believe the lines are the same but the hookup point is not. I am not 100% sure but from when I have done conversions the connection on the end of the brake line changes.
An easy test is to take the car out and slam on the brakes, do you feel a pump sensation in the peddle? That is ABS.

The brake lines should be the same. As far as i know the only difference between the 2 is on the abs there's wires that go to the calipers and non abs doesn't have the wires so I don't think it should matter

I'll go with the non-ABS, hopefully the ports and length are the same...I wouldn't see why not. AFAIK, ABS runs off a pulse ring on the axles...has nothing to do with the secondary lines...
