   Im about to get a rear axle off of a vtr or vts but am unsure what to do about the whole abs thing??? my car has no abs, and im not that bothered about it, the only thing i want to know is that can i buy an axle that is an abs model and choose not to use it or do i defintly have to get a non abs model.
   
   If there is a better option of rear axle rather than the saxo vtr/vts then please let me know like a pug or 306 or somthing like that
   
   Cheers

   you can fit the abs axle and just ignore the abs, 306 axles etc won't fit, saxo and 106 are your choices

   whats the advantage of fitting a VTR/VTS rear axle as opposed to the standard axle?

   disc brakes on VTR/S whereas West Coast has drums
