a new chevy, good rear end The 2005 SSR truck gets a 8.5 inch rear on the autos, and the 6 speed gets a 9.5 inch rear end. Why does those "truck" owners get a fat rear end while we get screwed? Those bastards

back from the dead i know, but iw as gona start my own anyway:
what would it take / would it be worthwhile (ok im not looking for bottom dollar or price vs a 9" etc) to put one of these 8.5" or 9.5" systems in our cars? it looks like the rear setup is similar, with a panhard, lca's though it has two more = four link, and shocks and springs. dumb idea or good upgrade?

yea i have been, and the 8.8 seems like a good deal if you shop around, and especially if you can weld yourself... just checking other options / food for thought
