This weekend I'm gonna be picking up a na/auto kouki S14 and I'm gonna be swapping all my parts from my zenki into the kouki shell. The kouki shell has ABS. My initial thought was to just swap all the brake lines over and just eliminate the ABS but now I'm thinking that I want to keep it. My car is a daily driver but I do at least 1 track day every month and go mountian driving on the weekend, and anybody that's been to okinawa can vouch for how slick the roads are. I know if I keep the ABS I'm gonna have to swap my diff into an ABS housing(I have one) which is not a big deal, and I think I might need a different BMC which leads to my first question since I don't have the car yet to look for myself. Do ABS and non ABS S14s use the same master cylinder? My current brakes setup is R33 front and back with a R33 master cylinder, I'm guessing if the BMC is different I can just swap to a R33 BMC with ABS. Now my main question, for aggressive driving/auto x would it be best to keep the ABS?

not sure about all the swapping questions.
but you DO NOT want abs in an s14 on wet oki roads, and you defiantly dont want it for the occasional track days. that shit will feel like your car is having a seizure

im pretty sure the BMC is different from non abs to ABS. and the obvious brake lines
