Default traction control ?

is it possible to delete the rear abs and traction control on my 2002 z28, or turn it off anyway? i'm getting ready to build a 9" rear for it

You can choose to not incorperate the ABS or the TCS and not have any issues, worst is you will have a ABS light. You should remove the ABS block and maybe a proportioning valve for fine tuning.

Talk to any of the tuning guys and they should be able to remove any codes if they pop up. But worst is you will have the light but they wont work anyways with out the Wheel Speed sensors on the axle ends.

Why not use your parts on the 9" ? will not cost any more if you use your parts, I paid for them when I bough the car and still use with the 9", just flip a switch if I do not want to use TC when lounghing, or if ABS comes on because of differant size tires just igore the lite

You can turn off the lights on the dash by tuning them out, but the ABS and TCS will indeed not work if you simply don't hook them back up at the rear-end. The front ABS won't work either if you do this. Bob
