Going with a Ford 9" We are saving now for a 9" for the wife's car. I am not very familiar with the rears. Which would be better a spool or an auburn differential. It will be a 9" with some 3.90 gears, 31 spine, and 4 channel ABS. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
The car is a '00 Formula WS6 with the full compliments of bolt-ons with a TRex and stock heads.
Yes I know that the 3.90 gears aren't the 'ideal' gears for the TRex, but she wants to start off with those first to see how it drives.

I should also mention that the car will be used more at the track. She will be points racing. Once the rear goes in the car will be used more at the track, with the occassional egged on race on the street. (No matter how the car sounds someone is always willing to race a female on the street just to see if she knows what she's doing.)

I weighed everything separate and added together...got 181.1lbs not including the center section nuts or the torque arm mount bolts. Not terribly heavy at all. That didn't include the 13.5lb backing plates or rest of braking though.

If the 3.90's don't do what she wants then she is looking at 4.56's. The main reason that she wants the 3.90's is for the 190 mile trip that the car will have to make to go from our house to the track. Although we do have a house to leave the car at once the race season starts.
I agree, go with 28" tall tires. They provide a larger contact patch ( o - O ) on the ground, and the taller sidewall doesn't shock the tread surface as hard, allowing more traction.
A nine inch with a spool is what I would go with for your application.
