Default 2002 honda accord lx rear disc brake conversion

I own a 2000 accord ex that is getting tired, and a 2002 accord lx. The plan is to swap the rear spindles and brakes from the ex to the lx. I've seen multiple posts from people doing this, but none have answered 1 question that I have.

What master cylinder would I use for 4 wheel disc brakes without swapping the abs over?

I do not have your answer but I do have a question. So you do not want ABS on your car?

At least your thread gets a "bump."

I've never liked the abs on this car. Gives the pedal a soft feel, and it doesn't really work all that great when you really need it.

Hmmm, the ABS in the V6 cars is very good.

It seems like it would be more work than its worth to swap the abs over, but maybe I'll do some research. Still would like to know which one to use if I dont however.

I wouldn't want ABS either. It's just another electronic thing to go wrong and cost a lot to fix and cars default to normal braking when it goes out anyway.

I dont recall needing to swap the MC, only perhaps the portioning valve. Not for sure though.
