Default need Solid Rear Advice!

Thinking its time to do a Solid Swap in my car (8.8, F9".. not sure playing with Dollar Figures so far)

What Kind of 1 Piece Driveshafts are you guys(or girls) running, and more specifically to what rear?


ALSO, Are the Rear Yolks in your driveshafts interchangeable? IE If I were to buy a 4" Alum can I swap the rear yolk for a 12bolt/8.8/9" yolk?

Thanks for the help guys, I'm trying to make moves.

Why would you want to put a SRA in when there are guys running 9's on IRS

Because for the cost of beefing up your stock rear, or going to a 9" IRS with all the goodies, you can do a 9" SRA swap.

Solid rears are used in drag racing for a reason. Just because people can run 9's IRS, doesn't mean its the best or easiest way.


Look on LS1GTO.com
From what I've seen, no one currently offers a bolt in kit like the 9" IRS from GForce.

A few people have done it, but you're going to need to get with a Fab Shop to get it done and get any kind of price quote. Its all one-off stuff.
