Deluxe or complete install kit? Im looking at Thunder Racing's website and it here is the breakdown of the parts:
Basic Kit: Includes pinion shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal & cover gasket
Complete Kit: Includes pinion shims, carrier shims, crush sleeve, pinion seal, pinion nut, ring gear bolts, cover gasket, and pinion & carrier bearings
It looks like the complete kit has (in addition to the basic kit) carrier shims, pinion nut, ring gear bolts, pinion bearings and carrier bearings. My car is an 02 with only 12k miles on it and it wont be seeing much track time (maybe 2-3 trips to the track a year). Will i need the additional parts that come with the complete kit, or will the basic kit do? Also, will a solid pinion spacer be necessary in place of the crush sleeve? Thanks for your help

With the milage on your car a full Master Kit should not be necessary. As long as you can pull the pinion bearing without damaging it. Let me know and we would be happy to help you. Check out our website for great deals. We can also price match and beat any price on same product.

Our Install Kit comes with Pinion & Carrier Shims, Pinion Seal, Crush Sleeve, Gear Compound, Loctite, and Brush. We have the Solid Spacer Upgrade if you want. Definately a better way to go but will take longer in the setup of your pinion preload.
