3 or 4 channel?? 98-02 F body rear brakes on 68 Camaro with C5 fronts?

[uraceulose]

I have a line on a really good deal tonight on a pair of rear calipers/rotors/backing plates/brackets off of a 4th Gen F body...the guy has 3 and 4 channel I believe.

Don't know what this means or WHICH ONE DO I NEED?

Thank you for any pointers,

Donnie

Is this correct:

"only need 4-channel if you have TC.If not 3-channel are the ones to use."

TC = traction control

He is referring to the ABS. ether one would work. if you have no thoughts or plans of ABS go with the 3 channel, this one has the tone ring inside the deferential housing, meaning that you will not have any preventions for ABS on the stuff you get.

for ABS 3 channel controls the rear as one braking system
ABS 4 channel has sensors for each rear wheel.

Hope this helps

i think he maybe talking about the abs system.

I'd use a 4 channel, it's not that much more work...but if you have an axle housing that has the ring on the diff that would make the rear setup pretty easy.

Edit: I take that back. If a guy doesn't have a Bridgeport at home and the capabilities to set up the rear sensor such the signal is clean at all speeds (which isn't easy to do), a 3-channel might be best. I have alot of resources that allowed myself to use a 4 channel system.
