Default BOOM goes the 10 bolt
Came off the 2 step @5200rpm on 315/35/17mt and the 10 bolt said goodbye.
Here are some pics.

Pshhhh.... You don't need those parts. Just get the old stick welder out and get back to the track.




Seriously though, if you see alot of track time go 9" not 12 bolt. Promise you will be better off in the long run.

Or you could go with an S60! I agree with Alex about not running a 12 bolt.

Well bro I gotta feeling that's what mine is going to look like when I pull the cover off mine. I did the same thing except from 4800 rpm and boom went my 10 bolt. Looks like we both get to save for a 9" this winter.
