[s-cars] Rear ABS sensor and HRSB links

[Young, Steve]

I'm 50/50 in removing the C4 sensors, and have never had a B5 sensor come out.

For whatever reason, the C4 chassis seem to give up the rear sensors
more easily that the B5 cars. They're also easier to thread through the
floorboards. I'm not a fan of used sensors for B5 rears, but can do the
C4's as needed.
