Some more MWC Eye Candy!





I am really digging the red and black combo. Kind of want to see someone do a black and silver combo also.

The nice thing about a 9" is gear changes is a ton easier.

The black and red combo does look great.

Here is what silver looks like also.

So easy that it can be done in my garage with simple hand tools?

Its actually a UMI bar .

If this rear end didnt look like it came out of an M1 tank, it might look somewhat proportional

Seriously considering a drag bar back there....

Yup, Remove the axles. remove the torque arm, remove the 10 bolts in the 3rd member and yank it out. but of course i do it on a lift so that helps.

Yes any additional color is more money. $25 to be exact, we have to come up with a full order to get any other color done besides black. Which as some know can take some time.

We use a huge manufacture for our powder coating and are the small fish in that pond. They do take care of us how ever and try to get us in and out as fast as possible.

Glad you are happy, we are in the process of loading up a black and red combo as I type this. Hope to have it all buttoned up and picked up for Friday or Monday.

I have seen black housing and red torque arm but this will be my first red housing and black accessories. I'm actually excited to see it once it is bolted in.

Hmmmmm, I wonder who's rear that might be? Lol

Just need shorter axels. Lol

Can't wait to see it guys. Those Fikse wheels, MWC red rear, black tq arm and newly painted red underside is going to look very nice. I hope. Will have lots of pics when it's all completed sometime in early 2012. I'm just as slow as you guys, but time and patience equals quality!!

Anything that mounts to a stock 10-bolt can be used with out housing MINUS other after market torque arms. We eliminated the bracket set up when we manufactured our MWC fabricated nine inch. Our torque arm alone weighs in what most after market brackets weigh, then you have to add the torque arm weight also.

Though I am not sure why anyone would want to run anything else considering the prices of our product are generally cheaper than anyone else and if you purchase a rear end from us we give you a huge discount with the purchase of a rear end and if you are a rear end customer and want to purchase them later we still offer a great discount.

We don't do any sway bars but we do offer an Anti Roll bar for drag racing. Our base package is $2750 shipped, the billet clutch posi is $200, a fill is $40, a drain comes with our housing free of charge, and everything else comes with that package as well.

Things to think about is how much HP you make, anything about 600 to 650 really should have a backbrace. We offer cheaper powder coating than anyone else and even though we assemble all center sections free of charge we can completely assemble your rear end, we would just need your brake backing plates and tin shields. Unless you have a 4ch vehicle and we would need a pair of reluctor wheels.
