i'm sayin pete, you probably won't notice much of a difference between the two unless you drive the car super hard around turns

There really is nothing about the nine inch that will make the car handle worse. It is heavier than the 10 bolt, but that will only help out the weight bias of your car, as there is more weight on the front of the car than there is on the rear. Bob

LOL, this wouldn't matter either. As long as there is a posi in the rear, your handling will be the same. The only way your handling will be effected is if you went with a locker, spool or also changed your shocks.

A rear housing swap isn't a factor in your handling.

you guys are saying more unsprung weight isn't gonna hurt a car's handling at all? i don't think so. maybe not an extremely noticable difference, but a difference none-the-less

tru ther will be a diff but it cant be that bad if you think about it b/c that weight it in the middle of the 2 rear wheels if you ask me that will be a great place for the extra weight well any way i got a 3rd member from a friend and im gonna start my 9" build any way

stock bar works fine, use 3in muffler clamps to replace the factory ones.
