Default focus rs servo&master cylinder/resevoir work with a FRST

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use a focus rs servo and master cylinder/resevoir (that has abs) with the same brake set-up in a fiesta turbo minus the abs...

anything is possible and it could be made to fit, but would there be problems as its come from a car with abs, and is going onto a car without...

any help would be very grateful

cheers

Hmm.. I don't know anything about this, but I pity the FRS who gave it's life in order for this to be a possibility :-(

It would work as long as you use the harness as well but the main problem wouldd be that the ABS would not work properly without the calipers front (Brembos) and rear cause ithink that the system runs on the pressure values of the fluid and as your calipers are totally different this may cause it to pack up on you leaving you back to as it was you maybe better off with a 4x4 sapph set upas this has been done before

the only reason i'd use the FRS servo, master cylinder and servo was if i had the 'same brake set up' (brembo's and rear discs)... but taking the abs off my FRST, using the FRS brake setup(servo,master cylinder and resevoir) and having it without ABS would that be a problem?!?
