no rear abs two questions about getting a new rear with no abs (i have a 3 channel and want an 8.8" or 9")
1) if you have no abs in the rear, does the front abs still work
2) can you use edit to turn the dashboard lights off

Ah yes, the great light question - yeah there isn't really any way to turn off the light or the TCS light within edit (that would be nice though - I hate looking at that damn thing). Pull the bulb or put a piece of tape over it.
Unless these cars are diffrent then other cars.............if the abs light is on the abs system is non functional. Now theroeticaly you could trick the car into thinking the rear abs worked, but i dont see why you would want front only abs, that would be kind o dagerous with the front end not locking and the rears locked up. Im sure you could devise something along the lines of a tone ring on the driveshaft ot the pinion yoke or something if you would like to keep your abs. If you want to turn off the light pull the bulb.

Verdad Gallardo Notice that front only abs has never been a factory option. Just 4w abs and rear wheel abs. I am yet to see a vehicle with 80/20. Locked rear wheels would be very dangerous, go in a parking lot and get up to speed and pull the ebrake, see how the *** end tries to pass you. Or put some shorter tires on the front of your car and try to stop, ask me how I know about this one. Now me personaly I do not like abs, abs in snow and ice scares me, the first time I hit the brakes and slid with the pedal throbing under my foot i decided that isnt for me. If you like your abs then get a rear that will let you use it if not then dont.
