philgor Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 you need to find out if ABS was an optional extra on the ek, if it was you can remove the whole ABS system from the car and have no issue's, but if the ABS was standerd fitment, it's gonna need to have ABS as it's a failure for the mot test.not sure if you can use the ex drive shaft's with dc2 hubs, engine and gearbox, and there may be a mounting bracket on the hub's already.as for the rear's you need to get the rear disk's off to see if the rear of the hub has the abs rulcuter ring on the back, and same again i should have the mounting bracket/hole on the back for the abs.

belfastlad123 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 the cluster i put in the car does not have an abs light so i should be ok for mot.tbh i thought it was just a matter of swapping everything over. so its not that easy ?

philgor Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 well if the ek doesn't have abs, and the dc2 doesn't have abs then it's just swap everything over, not done it my self, but with the front's i believe you can swap the hub's over complete with caliper disk etc, with the rear's i heard it's easier to swap the rear bearing over along with disk's/caliper/carriers/etc leaving the arm in place that way you only need to adjust the front tracking...
