Default Pics of my MWC 9" and watts link

I picked this up at MWC on Wednesday, it was cool to see thier shop!
This rear end is amazing, I definitely made the right choice going with MWC. I got the long torque arm and Yukon nodular iron 3rd member with 4.11's and a billet clutch posi, and kept my 4 channel ABS.
I decided to go with the 3" PST driveshaft, and the MWC drive shaft safety loop, the saftey loop is a great design it leaves the most room possible for dual exhaust or any exhaust for that matter.
I also got their watts link! The watts link is simply bad ***, I can't believe how much room there is for true duals now. As you can see i got it narrowed 2.25" per side to fit 5.5 backspaced 17x11 torq thrusts II's. The Rims fit perfect!
Thanks again to everyone at MWC!

Absolutely gorgeous car man. Love the paint and that rear end with those TT2's is sick. Get some Strano springs and I would be hard pressed to pick out a nicer looking TA.

I think the new 9" raised the rear end slightly, but im happy with it, i don't wanna go any lower.

Looks awesome man! Love to hear that you've got plenty of room for exhaust with the safety loop and watts link since I ordered mine with a watts link! Hopefully it won't be too much longer and I'll be getting mine.

$4,205 for everything from MWC, and like $640 shipped for the custom backspaced torq thrust II's.

It should but we can never guarantee a fit with exhaust. We have a setup made specifically for the TSP system, and the Watts setup is the best clearing track locator for most any exhaust system.
