2nd gen legacy non abs help

Post by zagarus »

Curious to know if the hardlines, master cylinder, and proportioning valve are the same for a BC legacy SS. Reason I ask is because I found a 2nd gen base model without ABS in a junkyard and would like to delete ABS on my car. I would want to take the master cylinder (probably get a new one anyways) as it has the four outputs, the four hardlines, 2 for the fronts and the 2 that goto the proportioning valve on the passenger strut tower for the rears. Does this sound right and will the hardlines that cross over the firewall fit?

Typically the ABS cars have larger bore MC's than the non-ABS cars. To swap to non-ABS you would need to swap out the hard lines from a non-ABS car. As you discovered the non-abs cars have 4 ports on the MC, and go to each wheel, while the ABS cars have two lines from the MC and go to the ABS unit where they split from there.

I'm not sure whether the hard lines are going to be a direct swap. They'll likely be close, but couldn't tell you how close they'd be.
