Default Need Opinions on a Rear End

Well I am 90% sure the 10 bolt finally broke on my car. It has damn near 200,000 miles on it so Im okay with that. Basically I have a couple things that are hindering me from going all out on a rear end. I just bought all the rear suspension for my car right before this happening. Only thing I dont have is a rear sway bar which was back ordered. Literally they have 100 miles on them.

If my rear end is shot, I dont want to spend the money to fix it. I would rather spend some extra money and get a better rear end but with out changing my rear suspension. Also I cant afford a 5 grand rear end. Im trying my best to make this car what it is. A nice street car that will visit the track once every 2 months maybe at most. So what are my options guys

Def check out Brute speed. Or mid west chassis. Iam sure you can get a good rear for 2500 give or take. I lucked out and found my 9 inch used for 1700.

The above rear with the Trac-Loc is what I normally recommend for the majority of my customers. If you have a high horsepower build and are also using nitrous, etc then I would steer you into a rear with a Wavetrac.

Here is more information that may help you out.

You can bolt all your suspension components to almost any after market rear specific to your car except the fab9 rears which use there own tq arm setups. Most come with built in relocation brackets so you wont need those anymore.

I like 9'' rears for ease of parts and gear ratio availability. You can't go wrong with a 12 bolt or Dana 60 either.

If you ever plan on going fast with the car put a 9" in it. That's what 99% of today's racers are running and you can't beat them.

It also depends on whether or not you have a manual or auto trans. If manual I would shy away from the 12 bolt, if auto go for it. I know you said that you are not going to track it that much but a rear is a big investment and the extra security of a 9" or a s60 are the only choices you should consider if you are a manual.

Auto with a stall and the car should make around 440 to the wheels. Alright thanks for letting me know all that can hook up. Should I go with a spool or go ahead and go posi?

Thats all on you about the spool thing. If you like to be able to turn into parking spots or make tight turns and go smooth around corners and curves you will hate spool. Since you are an auto I would go Detroit Locker.

If you were a frequent track guy or dont care about driveablity then I say spool.

Good deals from MWC or Brute Speed.

Fab9" would be the last rear you would ever have to buy, 12 bolt..depending on use, trans and other mods may cause you more issues.

You can go many different routes and be pleased with the results. If you are on a budget the S-60 is your best bang for the buck hands down with out any issues of floor to torque arm interference and comes with sway bar mounts and can be purchased with relocation brackets now as well.

This is were I would direct you for a purchase considering your current list of items since our fabricated builds utilize our own torque arm configuration. There is many advantages to how we set up our torque arm but we do understand when a customer already has one it isn't always in their best interest to start all over again. How ever most run the numbers and realize they can sell their current torque arm and get into a fabricated housing for similar cost of a S-60 or Moser stamped nine inch.

Price wise, I found Brutespeed to be hands down the best deal, and Shippin is free, you cant beat that, and they usually deliver your rear within 2 days of receiving payment, you wont find a better price and customer service is top notch

We can get you an S60 at probably a better price than any were else. Shop around and let me know what you come up with and I'm sure we can out do anyone's prices on any other rear end on the market.

I shopped around and requested a quote from all the vendors on "Tech" and found Carl to be the best deal, but that was an S60 with spool, adj LCA's and a CM DS. It would benefit you to shop anyone who can provide what your looking for.
