I've read all the stories about parking lot manners, tire wear scenarios etc. I'm really curious/worried about highway manners especially during rain.

For example:

Long sweeping turns pouring rain....
Sharp on/off ramps in the rain....

What are your "scare stories" ?? I'm considering going spool in my 9" since my posi is toast, but I DD my car. I'm not worried about it walking out sometimes, when I make it. But I DONT want to have it just glide out from underneath me during a tight turn.

Wavetrac. I have a spool and if it was my DD I would never consider it a choice. I would never trust a spool in rain. I have driven home and got caught in the rain but it wasn't a hard rain and I drove slow going through town.

I've daily driven my MWC 9" with a spool and not 1 issue. Don't drive like a jerk-off when its raining and you'll be just fine

I'd love a wavetrac...except I can't afford to let my car sit and drive my truck for the next month while I save for it...lol

I have a few days until I get my trans back before I really need to make my decision.

that sucks i LOVE my wavetrac. Car drives and feels better/more confident than with the stocker. IDK how it handles launches yet cuz my master cylinder sucks ****, but freeway rolls are just fine

Drove in heavy rain and light rain with mine without issues. Like mentioned above, just don't drive like jackass. Although no matter the rear, if you drive like a jackass your more than likely gonna wipe out.

I drove in a steady rain with a spool and M/T drag radials on a 2 lane highway that had a lot of curves in it. I kept my speed down at 50 mph and had no problems at all. Bob

I have heard the complete opposite of these guys LOL

A friend of mine has a notch back fox body with a spool and he got caught in the rain a few years ago, went around a corner and the *** went out from under him and he put the car into a guard rail. Messed the side all up, he turned around and went home and almost had the same thing happen again. He doesn't hardly ever drive the car on the street now.

I almost bought a spool for my 8.8, but I got a 31 spline trac lok for $50 so I went that route.

spools are fine as long as your on good tires(no dr or slicks) in the rain.ive ran a spool in my car for two years,and ive had a welded rear in my samurai for about 4 years never one problem.now whats scary in the rain is a detroit locker,**** lockers.

I have put 15,000 miles on my car with the spool drag radials are scary but if you have street tires with good tread you will be fine!
