you will lose ABS and TCS, other then finding a sensor to plug the hole in the top of the 3 channel rear there is nothing you need to do.

If you are swapping in a stock 10 bolt I'm pretty sure you can use your axles/backing plates and still have abs/tcs - just have to plug the hole in the top still..

I'm going from a 10 bolt 4 channel setup to a 12 bolt that already has a three channel setup the axles dont have the rings on them i realize i could have them pressed on i was wondering if i could just plug the harness into the 3 channel setup or if i could splice the wires or whatever

nope, number of teeth on the wheel is different plus the 4 channel car has an extra sensor so it wont work unless you get a 3 channel ABS module and rewire it..

Or you can put your backing plates and reluctor wheels on the 12 bolt if you want the ABS to work.
