I know, it sucks, but i hope you can find one anyway, they are great cars, just not enough companies in the aftermarket industry support our limited platform, so things are crazy expensive.

I sent you a PM the other day regarding a pinion yoke im trying to locate and was hoping you could help, let me know please, thanks!

They did, 2 companies made an IRS bolt in, and one company made a solid axle, Moser has a weld in/some cutting required type deal and the two IRS options, well, one of them is priced very well and the other, Not so much, IMO>

I was just getting at, the more companies that support the platform, the better the pricing would be, atleast thats how i think it would go, lol

But then again, it is a very limited platform, so it is, what it is.

We have a few customers that have gone coil over from the beginning of their build and we did eliminate the spring perch on the passenger side and we did not add the cup on the panhard bar bracket. Good for a little bit of weight savings if you are like me and count every pound.

yeah it is narrowed 3" per side, the brakes are strange sportsman race style..i also though the calipers would be silver, but i like them in black better.

I have the billet clutch posi and they told me regular old 80/90 with ford friction modifier. Obviously you wouldn't need the friction modifier with a spool, so maybe just conventional 80/90 weight? But I don't know for sure, so don't take my word for it. I can tell you my MWC took about 3 1/2 quarts, but that could vary with differential type I would guess.

Maybe they change the color, mine are polished and hard to keep remotely clean.

Damn I wish I would have waited to see all the new stuff MWC produces. The rear end above with the brakes look sick.

I like him also, glad Javier decided to go this route with the Strange Pro Race Kit and the added lines to make the install around his coil overs much easier for himself.
