M6 I assume? What kind of 60's were you running? Did you dump it?

Too bad a good rear end is so expensive.

If you accelerate hard in a corner and you can feel a bit of grinding from the rear, does this mean it's about to blow? Whatever it was, it's happened a few times to me, and it does NOT feel normal at all. Glad I got an extended warranty to 100k!?

Yeah... call me crazy but it will be a big sense of satisfaction for me.

Then I won't have a car for a while though. How much to 12 bolt rear ends cost anywho?

DR's are the killer on OEM 10bolts IMO, and I am in agreement with EVERYONE!

$2300 for rear
$100 kit
$50 tuning
$400 install

Yup, looking at about $3000
