Do you mean if I hadn't had to call OnStar to open my car 'cause I locked the keys inside, and if I had been able to get the axle nut off without dinking around for 20 minutes, and if one of my floor jacks hadn't broken (dang Harbor Freight junk 
, and if I had remembered to tighten the nut on the ball stud before letting the car down and having to take the wheel off again and jack it back up? I'm no mechanic, can you tell? Well, if the car was already up on jackstands, wheels off, tools all right there, I'd say a good mechanic could do it in under two hours easily. Took me 'bout four. 
Oh, btw, I did a 3k RPM clutch drop from a standstill on a dry paved road with two sons in the car (~230 lbs plus my 185 lbs) and roasted my Avon Tech 550 all season tires as the maggie made the motor climb to about 5k tires spinning/squealing, then ... I forgot to turn off the traction control.: Result: absolutely NO WHEELHOP !!!
Sure ...

Sounds like a good little weekend project.
I wonder if the KARS had an effect or if it would still be 0 wheel hop with just axles.

Can't wait to hear from more guys on their experiences, especially those who take it to the strip and can now experiment with launching techniques.

im a newbie. these will eliminate wheel hop, will stop the diff from breaking, and are on sale with free shipping??? is there some kind of warranty if something were to happen to them? are there any kind of mods to install, or just a replacement? old out, new in. thanks.
