Hey all, im replacing my master and my booster on my vr4. Does it matter if i get a master cylinder without ABS? at work i looked up a booster for the galant and only one that comes up is the one without ABS??? Look up the master and i have the option of ABS or non?? kinda confused, can someone help out. Thanks in advanced.


NOTE; I am removing my abs system in the future, so I dont know if matters.

If you get a non abs one its possible it'll be for a na car with a smaller bore.

I just bought the parts to do a 3G upgrade from Rock Auto. The bore size is bigger, not to mention it puts the reservoir on the master cylinder for a much cleaner look

Yep, just the booster and master cylinder. Everything bolts right up. 8G Galants use the same parts as well. Also, I would just delete abs now while you were at it.

2000 Eclipse with no abs or traction control.

There was only one brand of brake booster, and it has a $40 core charge. I forget which brand master cylinder I bought. I am heading to my storage shortly, I can let you know

It sounds like you've already made your mind up, but you can use a early q45 master also. You have to bend the lines and shave the reservoir fittings a tiny bit. Otherwise, it bolts up also. I took the idea from one of Curtis's write ups(linked above) and liked what he had to say, so I did it. Works well with the Brembo's.

How can you tell when a booster has gone bad?

Your brakes will get hard even with proper vacuum applied.
