I see, I plan on narrowing my 9" by two inches in each side for wider wheels and tires. Im just saving up money right now for one for my project.

Your build sounds like a monster! Daily driver or what? lol thats where the 9" rear end comes in handy! Thats the advantage about them, they will always be there.

No, no real noises I have just broken it 3 times. If its 95% street car 5% race car, I wouldnt get a spool.

ill never go back to anything else having a spool. mine isnt even loud. i have 3.90 gears. only noise it makes is from a dead stop making a tight 90* turn. takes some clutch work, but it pops, kinda feels like your breaking ur rear, but you arent lol. if you can get past that, youll never know its back there. +10000 for a spool bro. Ive launched my car at 5300rpm at the track on slicks no worries lol

Yeah I get what you mean bro lol Ill be slaping slicks on also soo i want that rear end to hold good power Car wont get driven more than 100 miles per week, maybe not even 50 lol soo it will be all good. Got advise from my tuner and engine builder, soo spool it will be. I just like to hear from others what kind of issues they got from a spool.
