I was told do lowers and torque arm and frame connectors and that will help it out big time cuz it wheel hops like crazy and im on a street tire rite now

I haven't destroyed mine yet with full suspension, 3600 stall, 3.73's, and M/T's but its time is ticking. The suspension will definetly help because the wheel hop will kit it real quick. An A4 wont beat on the rear quite as bad as an M6 will but still doesn't mean it will last forever unfortunately.

oh yes for sure, m6 is very harsh on every other part in ur drivetrain while the a4 is very gentle. but with 4.10's and m/t et's it doesnt really matter what transmission youve got, that puts a lot of stress on these weak diffs. my opinion dude, start saving for a 12 or a 9

Yea it a A4 it pulls really well from a dig alot better then my stock gears. The only problem is i spin through second and i have brand new tires and if it dont spin it wheel hops. At 55 mph im at 2500. But i like the gear, crapy gas milege but i didnt buy it for that if i wanted that i would of bought a honda. But thats y i want a drag radial because i spin like a mad man.

I ran some BFG drag radials on my car with 4.10s in a stock rear. I had originally swapped my 3.42 10 bolt for a 4.10 out of a 94. I stripped the teeth off of the pinion in that one, but I believe it was due to improper installation. I know who put the gears in and he is by no means a genious. I rebuilt it with a stud girdle (all from thunder racing) and haven't had any problems since. I would imagine if you aren't too crazy with your launch, it will break the tires loose before any real bad damage occurs. That's the way its worked for me anyway...

In the b-bodies with 2.93-3.08 gearing 27-28" tires driving around in "drive" instead of "overdrive" is a good test of whether you will be able to tolerate increased highway rpms of 4.10 gears.
Don't feel like doiong the math for the f-body but seems to me it would still be a good test.

You should be fine.. but don't count on it. My stock one went out just cause it was time I guess..the Clutches burned up and the Spider Gears stripped pulling out of my driveway.
I put an Auburn Pro Series Diff in inplace of that. Once I got the suspension hooking up with my 402 LSX, it lasted about a dozen 1.56-1.58 60ft's..it shattered on a wheelie.. I was using MT ET STREETS, size 275/50 R15 on Draglites at 12 psi.
Best words of advice, I have followed these as well..
Don't **** around with the 10-bolt when you break it, get you a 9".

9" will hold more power..both cost about the same. The 9" is a little easier to work with..expecially with a Gear Swap.
Personally the one thing I don't like about the 12 Bolt is that the Torque Arm Bolts up to it with 4 individual Bolts, instead of the 2 big Bolts. I've heard from many people that they come loose, and about the only thing to keep them inplace it to Tac-weld the Nut.

That and when you built your own Engine or whatever you do..you can see how it works, and troubleshoot it alot easier.
I'm tearing my Car apart right now, in the process of my T56 Swap..
