long arm will not be as aggressive on the tire at the hit, and most of the roadrace guys opt this way as there is a possibility of the short arm unloading the tires under extreme braking. Your average guy with a street/strip car may never see much of a difference.

Excellent! I purchase a rear from you a few years back and all you had at the time was the short arm. Look like your website has been updated since then, seen a few goodies that I may have to pick up.
Thanks,
Ken

I remember well Ken! We have well expanded our line of products over the past few years and there's more than what is on the website even. We offer just about anything you want or need for the f-body cars now, and usually have the best prices and quality.

Going to be making my call tomorrow or Friday and it will be as follows...

Black Powder Coated
31 Spline Axles
Billet Posi
4.30 Gears
Backbrace
Tow Loops
Watts Link
Air Bag Mounts
Long Arm
Chromo LCAs
And Assembled so I can just bolt it in when I get it
Going to try to get a set of bumper supports too, have to see if I can get my seat situation worked out first though.

I can not wait to get it, I'm so sick and tires of fighting with rear axle builds, I was almost considering parting out my car I hope everything goes well

I'm sure it will work out great. Eric is great to work with & MWC stuff looks awesome. Good luck with your build.

Just got off the phone with MWC, ended up with a little different setup, but this thing is going to be a beast.

35 Spline Axles
S-Trac
Fill Cap
Backbrace
Tow Loops
Watts Link
Bag Mounts (instead of spring mounts)
No PHB mount
Long Arm
4.30 Motives
Black Powder Coated Housing
Chromo LCAs (also black)
And Assembled

I'm so damn excited right now, but my wife is going to kill me when she sees what I spent.....But you only live once right

Thanks man, I'm so over messing around with axles in my car. Went through three 10 bolts and my 8.8 adventure did nothing but cause me grief and cost me too much money. I should have made the call over a year ago...oh well, live and learn

Yea you should have it about September, just in time to put the car away. I bet they will be down awhile if you aren't aware they are moving shops so I am sure it will slow production down quite a bit.

Can anyone tell me what DS they got and what the prices look like? I'm considering just getting the DS and being done with the rear drivetrain, but I'm curious how much $$$ its going to add to the cost.

They told me $425 shipped for the 3" Strange CM with a CM yoke. Now I just need to make up my mind....I know I won't be disappointed, but my wife is hard to convince

I got the 1/2" ARP wheel studs on mine. What length are those? I didn't get extended length as they still fit well within the stock wheel. 1.5" or 2" studs? I want to replace my front metrics to a 1/2" stud so everything match. Part # would be the cats pajamas. Thanks.
