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.

So, would this be a big deal? if i get one with out abs?

^ Please refresh my memory

Here is some talk about it. It's considered an upgrade:

Is that all thats needed? just the master and booster from a 00-02 3g eclipse??

What car did you look up to order the parts for?

Thanks man

DynastyLCD has it done on his car

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.

Your brakes will get hard even with proper vacuum applied.

If its super soft, thats probably what it is. If you have a way of applying vacuum to the master cylinder reservoir, it'll pull all the air out. At least thats what I do at work.

I use this specific tool, but as you might be able to tell, it may be difficult to adapt it to a gvr4 brake fluid reservoir. I've seen people use old reservoir caps and install a barbed fitting. This works really really well, but if you don't have one and have an extra person around, of course, you can just bleed them normally.

I'm not sure how you would do this on a gvr4 master, but on master cylinder that have the reservoir mounted directly, I just leave the reservoir cap on and it keeps the fluid inside. Once you take the cap off, it'll start running out.
