Default trading rears, help please.

So i put 4.10s in my a4. hate it on the highway. (should have done a stall like i planed but lesson learned.) my buddy has an m6 car with stock 3.42s. my car has tcs and his is not. everything other than that seems to be the exact same. were talking about swapping and was curious if i can just change the speed sensors out to his axle and it will work. or do i have to change axles also to have the reluctors on them for the speed sensors. ill check it out more when i get some time off work. anyone know for sure or have any advice?

Your TCS car will have the sensors at each wheel and his will just have one on the pumpkin. You should be able to swap backing plates and axles with your buddy. Maybe someone else will chime in with better advice.

I would swap gears only out. In the end I believe its the easier and better idea.
