The C5 diffs aren't that great. A hardened output shaft and a DTE strut brace will help keep your driveline together.

Very true...

Also right now LGM is currently working on new ideals to strenthen the C5s rear diff.

They set the new world record in the 1/4@140 for C5s, but they broke 3 or 4 diffs in the 6 passes.......Thanks to this there R&D team is working on a new rear diff support......

I'm not sure when it'll be done, but i would bet money that it'll be out within the next year.....as to how much it'll be.......not sure but i would say it'll be kinda rough on the wallet....but thats expected from LGM right lol

DTE shaft, and a rear end brace.

If you need more, go with the DTE short shaft, and the billet pinion support.

I agree, a must if you plan on launching hard at the track with sticky tires.

Sorry dude, I had meant to post this up for you. If you need DTE parts, you can contact DTE directly. The folks there are very helpful and very friendly.
