you dont get "crappy" rears and blow them by not beating the living **** out of the car. Obviously your getting hop and staying into it and not letting out like you should.

The stock rear sucks, the only solution is to drive it like Granny, and bale out once it starts hopping. Regarding the high-ticket upgrades, great fix, very pricey, save the money and get another car that is built for launches.
The V is a great car, with the weakest rear-end in American automotive history.

Sounds like you need to tailor your driving habits to the "V's" weak link....REAR END.
1st gear = NO hard launching and if you experience wheel hop, shed a tear and let off...

if your saying they are just going out on you like that and your not beating the car who is installing the new diffs. in the cars and are they putting the additive in it like it needs, bc if they are going off gm's books it says it doesnt need it and if they are just going by that then they are not putting it in as it still needs it and will make your diffs do what your saying...

It may fit if the seller knows what he has, but it says 'First Generation', which is a POS, second and third gens are improved. Also, not sure how he can prove to you that it is new, as it may be a whinning POS that he found in the trash at a dealership. You may want to consider new.
