What is actually diff on abs and tcs rears? When you order custom rears what is actually different on the abs and tcs rears? Isnt the rears the same but the brakes differerent or is there more to it than that?
ABS only cars have only one ABS sensor in the pumpkin, and a reluctor ring on the diff carrier. TCS/ABS cars have 2 sensors, one at each wheel, with a corresponding reluctor ring on each axle.

So the housing will be different? Or is this just extra add on's to standard housings? I mean if I got a regular housing can I add the sensors and stuff onto it?
The ABS only housing will have a hole drilled for the ABS sensor on the top of the pumpkin, and I think the TCS sensors fit into the brake backing plates. But that should be the only difference in housings.
But if you're buying a whole package, then you need to get it for whatever ABS setup you have, since the reluctor rings have to be specially installed on either the axles or carrier.
