This is the only place to get them, I replaced mine with these when I swapped my MWC 9" in.

Of course they do... both cars were upgraded with full rearends, front and rear suspension and wheelie bars from MWC this season, along with Strange axles and center sections as well as Afco shocks. Powered by engines from ERL using Callies internals and top end from All Pro. Only the best for these guys!

**** Eric I knew Brian Black did but didnt know Ohio boys also. **** looks killer and nice to see it under a race car putting down the numbers and winning races, Really show why I bought my rear from you and something I could afford and beat on it at the track every weekend I can. Should be enough motiavation for anybody wanting a new rear.

I know I have asked this before but sometimes things change. This is able to be installed in a 3rd gen correct? I am moreso wondering about the chassis mount for the torque arm, how does that get installed on the car? Welded and if so are there included templates or anything to make sure its installed correctly?

We do offer a 3rd gen rear end package as well. How ever it will take some fabricating on the customers end for the cross member. It comes in raw form and will need to be set up on the vehicle itself by attaching it to a set of SFC. We do not have any templates for this procedure as there is to many variables between customers vehicles.

Depending on your location and if this is an issue for you we can do the instal in house.

I know this info is probably somewhere in the 60+ pages, dug for a while but couldn't find it. What is the official break-in procedure for these? I know 80w90 non synthetic with additive (motive 4.11 with clutch posi). Can i do all the break-in on jack stands, or is combination jack stands and driving better?

Also, does anyone have a picture of a 4ch rear with brake lines installed into the factory bracket(from the third member side).

I had my payments broken down into 3 payments. I didn't even ask for it that's just how they broke it down. They only require ~ 30% down. The next payment was roughly 40%, then the last payment right before shipping was the same as the initial down payment of 30%.

So when I opened the bag with instructions and stickers with my order, I see the two small stickers and the one large one. I'm like "Sweet, this large one is going right on the rear once it's out of the crate!". After I unbolt the rear from the crate, I see there is already one placed there!

My buddy that helped do the install reflected back on his friend who bought a Vortech for his 2010 Challenger. They left out the sticker. He was like "I spent $6000 and the didn't even give me a sticker?!? Damn it!!" He was ready to unbolt it and send it back. LOL.

Moral of the story, we like our stickers.
