spools on the street !
I think I'm gonna have to go with a spool on my S60. The Posi isn't recommended for high power manual trans cars and the Wave Track isn't available for the Dana 60.

why would a spool inhibit the abs. THat makes no sense. The rear wheels are still spining therefore the abs will have a signal. In a panic brake situation you will push in the clutch and hit the brakes. If the rear wheels look up and stop spining the brake will release it just like it is supposed to. A spool will make no difference. If you have a four channel abs it will work more like a 3 channel it will release both back tires at the same time since both are locked together. If you have a 3 channel the abs will work the same. In 3 channel the abs system reads the ring gear speed and not the axles. Makes no difference with spool or any other kind of center section

Parking in tight spots kind of sucks, it's harder on tires, and doesn't like U turns. Other than that, it's the ****. I love mine, and don't have to worry about breaking the damn thing.

Just like most have stated, spool is a little less restriction which means a tad bit more power vs a locker or such. Spool is very durable, less money etc.. Driving a spool 6spd car with regular street radials to me is not good due to the chripping and bucking during tight corners, if you run a soft sidewall tire combo such as a DR, ET Street etc.. it's hard to tell you even have a spool unless it's raining, if raining BE Careful! If I had it to do over again and money was not an option (which it always is for me) I would probably go Wavetrack but since I'm always searching for the best bang for the buck, Spool all the way.
no one mentioned axle bearings...curious about the wear on them?
I have an eaton but want to swap to a spool when I change gears.
anyone want an eaton/axles/gears and trade for a spool/gear/axles?

Welll I just got the spoool in the car. First thing i noticed the ABS Inop light goes on. I was plannin on deleting my ABS (SJM sent me wrong parts so it had to wait) but as was said ABS will not work. It wasn't bad but does chirp and stutter around turns. My 275/40/17's do not like the spool at all, they are gettin crushed. Just have to get to summer then it will be 295/55/15's all the time which should be better.
