RENNTech ASR Defeat Switch

[rainmaker]

The 500E's scheduled to be brought to the shop this weekend for the first of many (mostly reversible) mods. The car's going in for a facelift with a new hood, grille, euro spec headlamps, corner lenses and tail lights. The euro-spec oil cooler should arrive in time to be installed as well.

Soon after, I should be installing a RENNTech ASR defeat switch then followed by a 1st gear start mod (thinking of going with Satish's) and a RENNTech sway bar.

Have some questions for those of you with the ASR defeat mod...

1. What exactly comes with the kit, what are its components?

2. How involved is the install?

3. Is it fully reversible or will any wires have to be cut?

4. How exactly does it work/function? I take it it's not just a simple on off switch.

5. Other than terribly shortening the life of rear tires and potentially the differential (especially when having too much fun with the vehicle), any downside I've overlooked?

6. Any problems you guys have encountered with these?

Feedback is most appreciated.

Many thanks...
