Well I can mount and balance the tires myself (NAS oceana hobby shop) I just need to pay for an allignment. So I'll check prices at those places. Thanks!

ooooor i might just wait a couple more weeks and use the tires as an excuse for new rims as well =]

I hate to say this to another man, but you've got a great looking rear end there.

I would have to agree....

That driveshaft safety loop is the best designed I have seen. Mine hits everything right now and I ended up taking it off.

So the torque arm they use is a long one vice the short one, I didn't know since I never looked at any pics of it. Now I will have to rethink my rear end options.

Gool luck with the install.

You can order either a long torque arm or a short torque arm when you order the rearend from Eric. The price is the same for both. The short torque arm has the DS safety loop built into it though, the long torque arm does not have it and the safety loop is an extra $80.

The remainder balance on my Midwest Fab 9 inch just got taken today so I am guessing mine will be shipping in just a day or two. I went with the short torque arm since that's what Eric recommended for an auto car that is footbraked. He said that a transbraked auto he recommends the long torque arm.

Thanks, I didn't know that makes a difference. Any idea what the short arm and mount look like? Can you post pics once you get it?

Nice might be out at the boardwalk this weekend but my car wont think I got a wastegate hanging open. Had the car spike 20lbs twice this past weekend, but any of you guys hitting the TWR rental in May? Going to be alot of hi powered stangs there. You guys might know me better as whistler by the way guys.
