Default Chicagoland - Anyone w a spool in an M6 car?

I'm trying to decide on my rear (posi vs spool), but I'd like to ride in a car w/ a spool to see how it behaves. I'm on the NW side near Harlem/Higgins intersection. If anyone could help me out with my decision, that'd be great.

my car has a full spool in it. 9" with 4.71 gears and spool, M6 car.

it won't be out for a couple more weeks realistically, still waiting on my trans.

don't bother, just put a spool in it, i hardly ever notice mine, even when i had on my 17" nittos on the boyd rims i had this past year. only when making slow, tight turns will it ever clunk.

Sean (sp), right? I've seen you up at Roselle before......

I've heard a lot of both ends of the story(fine vs. big PITA), but as long as it's not a drastic drain on driveability, it's worth the added strength to me.

Yes you can get away with a spool just dont plan on doing some hard turning. Take it easy on the turns and you will be fine.
