my point exactly.......especially since we have heard maybe one review on the axles so far. I cant blame people for not wanting to beat ont here car to test them fully but someone)maybe hendrix) needs to offer someone something to test there car with the axles. We need some reviews to give us an idea of what we are getting. Spending 1800 to be able to do a burnout isnt worth it to me, i wanna see some track launches.
send me axles if you want a kick *** parts review!

BMR Bushings (and that's it)
I've "tested" these axles many times by 2k, 3k, 4k clutch dumps from a dead stop, and they do exactly what they are supposed to do. Eliminate wheel hop. The burnouts are smooth as butter. They are the ****!!!
I can post videos if you want. I posted two on CF forum, and a writeup how to put em in.
What I'm talking about is a hard 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd shift. I know it won't wheelhop (not worried about that anymore) just worried about the stress of it all on the weakass aluminum case. After breaking a diff, you tend to be a little gun shy. I'll go to the track one of these days and run it as hard as I can, but I'm not in a big hurry.

Does anyone have a pic of the diff outside the car? I know it's been talked about before but on the 03/04 cobras guys are buying a brace that goes on the diff to make it more rigid.

i would like to see what gains you get from the axles at the strip, if i can go 13.6 with all the stock stuff, why would i spend 2k to go 13.4? thats the difference. a lot of talk has been said about how much faster the V would be if it could be launched hard, well lets see it where its gonna hop the most, hooking on a prpped track.
