Hey guys, about to swap the 95-97 knuckles onto my 93. I jumped and bought the cheaper rotors and turns out they're for an ABS truck. I don't have 4 wheel abs as far as I know and the parts I gathered for the swap are also non abs. Will the rotors work or will I have to return them for the more expensive non abs ones?

Nope, sorry, if you try it the universe will implode. The proper distribution of ABS parts affects the cosmological constant.

That's one of those things most people don't know.

A lot of your answers like this could be taken either way on how they're interpreted, with sasquatch's answers I'm gonna say its going in the way that'll be fine, so thanks, but it'd be nice if you could clarify the answer at the end, since the tone of your voice doesn't transfer well over text.
Appreciate the help as always guys.

You'll be fine with those rotors; just ignore the 'clever' answers........

I think it's weird that the ABS parts were cheaper. When I checked O'Reillys the non-abs one was $43 and the abs rotor was $69.
