Yep that is not a problem.

Yeah I caught that problem before ordering the AFCO rear shocks. I bought the upper mounts from RaceCraft. The upper mounts accepts a 1" wide AFCO bearing.


I do not like the AFCO upper stub mount! Not enough play room and not good for coil-over type setups. Too much stress on the rubber grommets that could cause wear problems.

Hello Midwest Chassis! On the 9" ford housings can I get the adjustable lower shock mounts on the housing part? I like to be able to lower or raise the car up without adjusting the coil-over shocks to get the correct ride height. All coil-over shocks have a ride height range and you need to stay within that range.


Do you have any housing build like that?

Good Pinion Angle Information! I have called you before to ask about that. It is nice to have a LINK for this. Thanks!

Does your 9" housing torque arm hit the driveshaft floor tunnel? Will I have to notch the tunnel area out to use the 9" torque arm? I was thinking of getting the 9" housing with trans mount torque arm.


What are your thoughts about the trans mount torque arm?

I run The trans mount TA, all street miles so far and it hasn't hit at all. The TA configuration is one of the major reasons to get this setup IMO.

Depends on if it is assembled completely and powder coating but we could have one out in two days depending upon your situation and budget. Obviously one not powder coated and assembled will go out faster than one assembled and powder coated. Keep in mind if we do not assemble the housing completely all center sections come out completely assembled.

We are working on cutting those times down as well, we are still taking measures to keep up with demand.

It would be one we built in house for our rear end.

I will have to say though with all the HUNDREDS of rear ends we have never sold adjustable lower shock mounts for rear coil overs and stock location shocks. It adds more of an angle to the shock when you do this and every time you raise and lower the lower shock at the mount you will have to go in and readjust your pinion angle.

You purchase the correct shocks you have a decent working range with in the shocks limits. Our customers have proven time and time again that it isn't needed with the amazing 60' times they have turned at all different ride heights with the coil overs we sell them and a standard transverse mount lower and stud upper.

Here is a list of the options and pricing so you can get a better grasp of what is available and the approximate costs.

Lots of options on these rear ends... Price will depend on how you outfit the package. Look through this list and pick out the things that you want and we will go from there. We suggest the use of a back brace at 550-600rwhp, or if you think you'll ever get there because we can't add a brace later. It has to be done while the housing is on the fixture to do it correctly. We also suggest a good driveshaft as well, the stock one will work with a conversion u-joint, but ends up a bit short and is too weak for any hard launches, especially w/ a m6 car.

For the rearend package here's the current pricing schedule:

Base package includes housing(any width), Strange nodular(rated 600hp) center section with spool and choice of gear ratio(Motive Performance), 31-35 spline Strange axles w/ street bearings and 2" 12mm metric or 1/2" SAE studs, and chromoly double adjustable torque arm with crossmember for your application. All necessary hardware is included as well. The base package is $2999 shipped to the lower 48 states (far corner states may incur a slight surcharge due to shipping costs). Residential deliveries of complete assembled rearends will require a liftgate service and will need to be quoted for that at the time of order. If an order is cancelled the $500 deposit is non-refundable, and remaining refund balance is subject to credit card processing fees.

*we can do the 3ch abs w/ aluminum case (or any case for that matter!)...

*** We strongly suggest a performance driveshaft with this or any aftermarket rearend. The stock shafts are failure prone and will become the weak link in the driveline. The cost of repairs incurred from a failed driveshaft will far overcome the invesment of the correct shaft for your application. MWC proudly offers performance driveshafts from Strange and PST.

The true fabricated rearend housing features components such as a drain plug, 5 hole relocator style lca brackets, stock style anti-sway bar mounts, brake line clips, and chassis brake hose mounting bracket. 98-02 applications also include brake hose mounts and e-brake cable brackets. These features are all standard equipment at no extra charge. Other manufacturers don't even offer some of these items that make it a true bolt-in.

The chromoly double adjustable torque arm is included with the package and is exclusive to this housing. Short (tunnel mounted) and long (trans crossmember mounted) versions available. Both are the same cost, the short arm crossmembers come with a driveshaft loop installed (available with dual exhaust), the long arm comes with a new trans crossmember, but no loop. We do have a tunnel form-fitting driveshaft loop available for the long arms or any other configuration. It is profiled to the floor pan and does not interfere with exhaust or ground clearance.

The base package rearend with the aluminum center section upgrade will weigh about the same as the stock 10 bolt. The nodular case is only 15 pounds heavier. Due to the design and construction, the chromoly adjustable torque arm is some of the lightest and strongest on the market, and weighs less than just the adapter bracket itself on a standard Moser 9". The complete rearend with the aluminum case upgrade and a spool would actually be lighter than the stock 10 bolt.

Tad out of my price range

MidwestChassis2

iTrader: (1)

It is priced that way because it is currently out of stock. This way we don't lose all the customers that are currently watching the item.(eBay selling trick) I wish Ebay stores had some better options for certain ways of doing things but you just have to figure ways around it at times. Price will be back to normal by the end of the week.

If a customer called to order I could explain that shipping would be two to three extra days which is hard to explain through the eBay store and positive feedback is very important to us. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention because it means customers are looking at the eBay store.


Zmg00camaross you get charged double on everything anyway.

That is good to hear. Should help simplify things if it takes off.

It is a pretty sweet SOM Trans Am on there for the 98-02 Trans Am front bumper support with Fog Light provisions.
