Briansf, I decided on the 3 point connectors after seeing a few posts from people ripping the floor where the ta crossmember bolts in. I'm shooting for around 550-600 rwhp with the procharger and stroker iron block. Thats funny that you are from hanover I've spent lots of summers down in marshfield with my family. Thanks everyone for all the props and if anyone needs any info. just let me know
Are the photos in your album before the S60 was installed? I understand the S60 raises the rear about 3/4". What size MT's are you running on your RT-S's?

I used ppg self etching primer and then sprayed it with 2 coats of sem hot rod black. The pics. album with the weld wheels are after the rear went in but I put the coilovers in at the same time and have them adjusted higher to keep the tires (295/55/15 28") from rubbing

OP ... those 10" RT-S's don't look like a 7.5" bs. Are they? I was also looking at your coilovers and realized there are no stock coils. Apparently, there is no need to run stock coils with the coilovers. I never thought about that with my SS.
By the way, I received an email from Carl today that my rear has shipped and will be here Friday. Now I need to see if I can find POR-15 locally. I may have to order it from Summitt and figure out out just what I need.
Since I don't have any of my suspension parts yet (still looking for deals) and there is a local "Dyno Day" on April 9th with three runs for $50 that I planned to attend, I will probably wait until after that weekend to start my install.

yea ... I thought that dish was little wider than the standard f-body 7.5" bs. They look good! I went with the standard width for my S60 and plan to run 10" with the 7.5" bs. I will be interested to see how well that rear hooks for you. When do you think you will get some track time?
