thanks for the reply, 10-4 on the backlash.
I am A4, and do not not mind the backlash, ran a locker 6-7 years in a 427 mustang strip/street back in late '60 s, now last 5 years tunning locker in
7 1/2 street/strip, and have locker in 9" as a stand by
again thanks, Johnny

Ever come out of a turn with the pedal pinned with a locker when it locks back up? whoa nelly, talk about feeling like getting loose the first few times you do it.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SPOOL.
If you were driving it on a daily basis I bet it was eating up tires fast! That's why he mentioned being hardcore cuz the majority of people don't choose it for street use cuz of that!

It depends on what kind of driving you mainly do. This V doesn't wear the tires too bad with it's spool. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=29 If you do mostly highway or rural driving, you will hardly ever notice any tire scrubbing. If you do a lot of inner city driving, you'll hate a spool. Bob
