Default rear-end swap

Hi Gang,

I was just wonder what the pro's and/or con's would be in swappin out the rear-end in my 02 (A4)Camaro Z28??? That came stock w/ the ASR(traction Control) 2.73's set-up w/ another 02 Camaro Z28. That has the 3.42's in it w/o the ASR set-up.

If, this swap would lead to problems in my Z28. What would be the good route take in gettin around it???

Thanks in advance,
Don

You'll need a tune to fix your speedo but other than that you shouldn't encounter any major problems.
