Default Spool -Vs- Trutrac

The time is coming soon. I have yet to decide between the MWC 9" and the S60. one thing that makes me undecided is I am not sure if I want to use a spool, trutrack or locker.

From what I have rear the Locker does not behave well on the street and is real bad with a M6 so that is out.

I am really considering a S60 with a trutrac or a MWC with a spool. as they will be about the same price. that being said I may go with a S60 w/ a spool or if I can get a killer deal on the MWC 9" with a trutrac and some 15" drag rims going that way..

I know many have ran a spool on the street with no issues but I Dont know how many were M6 like I am. I plan on running a 4.10 or 4.30 and using the car 80%street ans 20% track. the car will not see over 700hp ever and that would be years down the road.

wait time is not an issue, I just want a well behaved car. I dont mind wide turns I just dont want to have a loud or clunky rear

A spool is the lightest, cheapest and strongest option. If you don't care about some wide turns I would definitely pick that. Plus the mwc 9" will be much lighter and more efficient than the s60.
