Not worth the trouble. You can learn to drive without it and do just fine. I've permanently disconnected mine. If the rear wheels start to spin, lift off the gas.

I think the wires are there, but the rear end has some extra stuff (for sensors?) that might make it more trouble than it is worth. Plus the stock traction control really sux, consider yourself lucky that you don't have it. I do.

You need the rear exicter wheel that goes in the axle. Probably also need the entire wiring harness for the car. Or if you are smart you could compare the differences and rewire your own.
