What is the cost to get a rear at least as lightweight as the stock one in an 02 Camaro with an M6? 3.55 gears, best posi for road racing and using other stock/aftermarket parts I already have? (springs, tq arms, brakes, 4ch). Cost and time to receive?

I would say pick up the phone and call with those kinds of questions. Midwest Chassis has some questons they will ask you to make sure you are getting the right parts for your application. A shop that has control over there products from design, to build, to install is worth a phone call.
The only issue I had with mine was the rear mounting driver side hole needed to be elongated about 1/8-1/4" to fit the bolt through it. No biggie though the rest of it is great!

Use what the winner's rely on... MWC rearends and full front and rear suspension!
When you call and order a MWC rearend for your street car you get the exact same housing and torque arm components and fabrication work as these 200+ mph Outlaw Drag Radial cars run. Whether you are a daily driver, street/strip, autocross, or full on drag car you can rely on MWC for the highest quality, most experienced, and top notch customer service.

I finally got around to putting my rear in this weekend. Im looking for some advise as to which holes to use for the torque arm up front and the control arms? Just something that will get me in the ball park.
It has the short arm, mwc lca's and panhard, spool, 3.70 gear, 295/55 MT radial. The car makes 400rw on the motor and will see a 200 hit later, th350 foot brake, qa1 SA rear shocks until i get it back driving and can take it to get the relo tabs welded up for the afco da's, stock rear spring.
Thanks

Don't know what torque arm mount you have. But I would put it in the second hole from the bottom. The lower control arms would put in the bottom hole if the car is lower than stock and to hit the tires hard. But you just have to get to the track and try it out and change one thing at a time. What works for you mite not work for others.

As stated start with the torque arm second from bottom. The lower control arms need to run uphill toward the front of the car slightly and set the shock in the 2/3 to 3/4 tight position. If the car squats set the lower control arm to a lower position to increase angle and if it seems to bounce the weight from front to back try tightening up the shocks.
These are general guidlines and just a starting point.

^^^ What's this guy know... He's only been 7.40s/190+ at 3400 pounds on a oem GM LS block and a single 88mm turbo!
Koolrayz is using a MWC fabricated 9" "off the shelf" type rearend and bolt-in crossmember that we sell every day to our customers, along with the leading front suspension package from MWC.
