Uses 4 channel ABS so you need to make some changes in the rear or swap to a TCS equipped car rear end... plus all the other changes to add it in.

Don't see why anyone would want this...

just use your right foot to operate the traction control pedal located directly to the right of the brake pedal.

why would you want traction control. everyones always turns it off first thing when they crank their car up. just use skill and throttle control to avoid wheelspin, not a freakin device. it wouldnt be worth the swap IMO, if it can be done.

+? Trust us...you don't want traction control. Damn nasty looking box on the side of the valve cover, plus its damn embarassing when you forget to turn if off at the line. Come on guys...I know it just doesn't happen to me.
