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.

I have a 3 channel rear end. I would say mostly 90 degree turns, sometimes it tries to kick them loose at 50 degree's or higher. It really does like going straight, i really want to throw on the M/T's and see about how they like the spool though. Parking is interesting, gas stations get fun, as well as pulling in/out of driveway haha. Going slowly and turning stinks but quick isn't bad. I haven' ttried windy roads but the faster is normally better.

I always heard that spools on daily drivers eventually lead to broken axles and as already stated big poblems parking and driving in wet weather, that's why I went with a 35 spline Detroit Locker for my S60.

damn i have a true track in mine but i wanted to change gears so can i still use the 33 spline axels i have now with a spool. With spray the car should make 720rwhp to 750rwhp do i need 35 spline axels and i hate to say it but im really leaning towards a turbo 400 and a nice converter so it'll be easier on the driveline. i really enjoied the 6 speed on the road but its turned pretty much into a track car that i can drive on the street instead of a street car that ocassionally went to the track.

i Daily Drove my ss with a spool all last summer and they only thing that was different was pulling in parking spots and driveways. Besides that it wasnt a problem at all. I have a 4 channel and both my abs and tcs worked fine, idk why people are saying it wont work
but once i get my motor back in it i will DD it again rain or shine everyday.

I'm still having a tough time deciding if I should go with a spool or a tru track. Rear will be an 8.8 with 31 spline axles, in a street car (6-8k miles a year) with ~425 rwhp, and 17s or 18s no 15s ever
