Does C5 Brake Conversion affect C4 ABS System?
I'm not sure If I ever read anything about this?? I'm not sure exactly how the ABS works (sensors, computer, ect) so thought I'd ask. I'll be doing the conversion on a 1990.
Thanks

:cheers: Short answer...NO!
ABS system senses wheel lock up independent of the roters or calipers and modulates pressure (barke fluid) applied to each wheel!
ABS works by sensors in the whele/bearing assembly, not the brakes!
ABS will work fine with C5 conversion

Jack is dead on, as usual. The ABS system is run by sensors and fluid, not the hardware (rotors, calipers, brackets, etc). The hardware would have no way of knowing the difference.

While your at it get the spring from drm and install it in the master cylinder makes the back brakes better.
Stopping is awesome
But now I have to spend as much time cleaning the brake dust off the rear wheels as I used to have to do on just the fronts :jester
