Cost?

 

If this installation is priced reasonably.....Madman will sell a "bunch" of them....

 

We will have the pics and pricing posted up mid next week. I will warn you guys though, it's not going to be cheap.

We're not looking for cheap - GM already covered that spot with the diff we have.

We're looking for quality and expect that the price will be commensurate with the quality we receive. (Damn I love those big words)

 

 

Oh ****

 

I hope it doesn't become a $5000 clunker

 

Don't know what you mean by clunker but the rear is going to be more then $5K. I'm working on getting the final price together this week.

I was inferring that I hope it's not like the $5K clunker rear end in my car right now from wonderful GM engineering.

Looking forward to seeing the price. Just curious, what's the weight change difference going to be?

 

udpate?

 

Hey!!

Very cool!! I would be very interested in the overall difference between GM crap & yours. Specs, cost, etc.....

Thanks,
Paul

 

hello........price check, aisle 3?

 

:tumbleweed:

 

 

what week would that be????????

 

Any updates?

 

Any word yet, Paul?

I'm still on my first rear, but I sense trouble on the horizon. I ran a 12.01 at the track. Nobody can be satisfied .011 seconds off of having an 11 sec. CTS-V I was trapping over 120 mph, so the car has an 11 sec. pass in it. I'm scared to put drag radials on the car to find out.

If I don't hear something soon, I'm thinking about going to a chassis guy and seeing if I can just do a solid rear axle or something else. I think I'd rather lose some handling than have to worry about replacing rear ends on a regular basis.

 

Can this be done? How much effort/$$?

 

Well, I'm not sure yet. I imagine it will require a reworked suspension, rerouting the exhaust and you may have issues getting the computer controls (ABS, Traction Control and Stability Control) to work right - if at all.

But, if there's no more word on the IRS setup, I'm going to run it past the chassis guy working on my TA (Jason Woods/Wizard Racing). Hell, if they build cars/suspensions from the ground up, I don't see why they can't squeeze a solid rear axle underneath a CTS-V.
