Default Gforce Engineering 9" kits

Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know that we have ramped up production and now have our 9" kits on the shelf ready to ship.

Say good bye to the clunks and parts breakage with stock rear, driveshaft and axles.
Our 9" kit gives you a complete solution and comes with our 1000hp axles, aluminum/Chromoly driveshaft, fabricated housing and you can also get a Stange Pro Iron pumpkin.
Only work required to make it bolt in is some clearance work on the cradle to allow for the larger cv joints.

Here is the link to our web site
http://www.shop.gforce1320.com/produ...&categoryId=13

Our 9" kits are also available for the 2010+ Camaro, Pontiac G8 and GTO.


Thanks
Chris

CF driveshaft was already an option when I ordered my kit.

We usually do the 2 piece on the CTS-V since it is such a long shaft but we can also do a 1 piece carbon fiber.

It used to be priced at $5500. for everything. We had some people wanting to buy it but supply their own pumpkin so decided to change the price to a "Base" price and then you add your pumpkin if you want one.

Thanks

My bad, maybe I need to learn how to read before I start posting, LOL. Chris I was thinking about getting the other axle, I already have the driver side axle waiting to be installed, do I just need to order the one for the 04-05? Is the price going to drop again, I bought mine right before the price drop last time,

Correct, we changed the housing design so you dont have to cut on the cradle for the hounsing to clear.
But you still have to open up the cradle where the cv joints pass through.
You have to cut about 1/2" out of the top and sides and weld some plate back in there. It's not that bad of a fab job.
I'll have a cradle core in a few days that I can modify for someone if needed.
These pics will give you an idea on what is needed.

Thanks
Chris
