What is the difference between ABS and non ABS strut's?

Can a non ABS strut be fitted into an ABS fitted car?

ABS is managed through the hubs, there should be no difference in the struts.

think it's just an extra bracket for the ABS wire..
Probably can just cable tie it on if theres no bracket...

I dont think there is a difference on my VP with abs looks the same to any other strut, GothicKidd might be right about a bracket for a wire

Thank you guys.
There is no bracket on my struts, only a hole where the sensor is located.

Interested to know if this hole is there and in the same location.

Sorry, Feeding you lies here. Didn't really look into it..
I'm use to VR+ strut, where it's separate from the HUB..

So if it's VN-VP it looks like a complete unit.. Soo I'd say there's a bit of difference between the two.
Not sure if they came with brackets? but defiantly would have a hole for the ABS..

So for your main question, I'd say No, you cannot fit non-abs strut onto ABS car..
but maybe look into it, see if you can view any struts without and see if you can easily make it work. :p
