YES!!!!!

Seems like the top portion is mounted solid to the cradle. Not much room to go, huh? Which is what we need.....

Hey, will the stock rubber bushings be also addressed? If this is already covered please desregard this question...

looks great!!

Anyone there thought about possibly making a sef tubular a-arms or a stronger trailing arms with polyurethane bushings (which i really dont like...) or a hardened rubber bushing while you are at it?

I know its alot of work but you guys could make a killing with parts that work well...

Powershiftin' isn't thr problem brother,...it's launching,...and haveing wheel hop like the stripper that was bounceing off your lap last weekend....without the happy ending.

The wheel hop also comes from powershifting. I granny shifted into second, thats when mine split in half.

Good Luck!!!

Although this will cure our wimpy diff disease, it wil not address the hop condition.

Hopefully this will be available for sale, as I know many are seriously seeking a solution.

i know for a fact. due to the parts being used in this new rear, 90% of you guys are going to complain because it is going to be noisey. remember i told you so. if you guys cant stand a noisy shifter you guys will be fucked then

Unfortunately this is likely the truth...

Its all gonna depend on how the gears are setup as well. Ive heard V diffs that are louder than my live axle 9" in my f-body....and it has a spool. Also if you have a problem with how loud it might be, but dropped the coin for it, you probably can afford to have the car sound deadened.
