Default Rear disks on mk 6 escort

has any one got any info or links on how to do rear disk conversion on a mk 6 escort gti with abs.
I no that you can't use a mk5 rs2000 rear beam as it does not have abs on the rear wheels
Also i dont want to loose the abs.
Thanks

Just go with the mk5 rear beam mate, the abs has such little effect on the rear you wont even notice it.

As far as I'm aware the mk5 rs2000 only had ABS active on the front.

I don't know the details, sorry. When researching for my own rear disc conversion I came across it, but I just needed a RS beam for mine.
