hey i was wondering if it's possible to use the 89-94 ABS rotors on the non abs same years... i work at a parts store and can get the slotted rotors for like 30 bucks a pop but they're for the ABS model and the (front) rotor is a little bit bigger but not that much but i was just wondering because i dont want to spend money get my hopes up and then not use them thanks in advance

Yes, easily.You could if you wanted to order abs calipers and rotors or just rotors(size difference is very small I forget the number in standard)

No, you cannot. The ABS rotors are a fair bit larger and rub the calipers.

ya you cant use the abs rotors unless you have the abs calipers.

and the pads for abs is alot more surface area than the non abs ones. same with the calipers too.
