Default swap 3 and 4 channel

Is it possible to put a 3 channel rear into a car that has traction control and still keep the abs? In other words just delete the traction control?

No, you can't just delete traction control.

As Keliente said...nope.

However, you can convert the 3 channel to 4 channel by swapping brake backing plates and axels. That's if you are going from 10 bolt to 10 bolt......

The 3rd sticky at the top of this forum....

For those of you who have a 4 channel car and for whatever reason you have to swap rears and all you could find a 3 channel... well your lucky because all you have to do is leave the 3 channel ABS sensor in the rear and swap over the 4 channel axles and sensors from the current or broken 4 channel rear which is in the car.

Yep. It's not bad at all. If the sticky doesn't get you enough info, shoot me a PM and I can help you out.
