Turning off VSC and traction control is very easy on 07+ models, there's even a button for it.

I'm unaware of any easy way to disable ABS however.

There isn't any short of disconnecting a wheel speed sensor or pulling a fuse.

I hate the traction control on my 07 GS 350, too sensitive.

Can you elaborate on this? Does pulling the fuse have the same effect as the pedal dance? Does this also disable the e-LSD?
Thanks!

No, pulling the fuse turns the dash into a Christmas tree of malfunction indicator lights.

The pedal dance has been proved to disable the e-LSD in the IS F. I would be surprised if this was not also true for the 350.

Yeah, I think it will lose e-LSD with the pedal dance. That's too bad. I would love nothing more than to yank a fuse which disables the stability and traction control without losing LSD. It was simple in the Supra, all you had to do was yank the TRAC fuse which only caused the trac light to blink. I miss her

The new IS350 commercial where the car is skidding around all over the place pisses me off cause the car won't let you do that! how am I supposed to to have fun in the snow with my Blizzaks???

Uh.... there's a button right on the dash for 07+ models to turn off both VSC and traction control (and 06s have the pedal dance).

That won't help with ABS, but you still can kick out the rear of the car just fine.
