those wires are for the anti-lock brakes system. simply cut the wires on them when transferring the rear suspension as you will not be able to use it.

Yep. They are abs sensors.

Unless you feel like putting abs into your vehicle. In which if you do, i have a full setup for you that you can just have.

Yeah, I would just unbolt them from the knuckles and then from the car. You can pull the whole rear ABS sensors/wiring from the rear without cutting. Thats the way I did it when I sold my rear disc assembly from my totalled Accord.
