GP:Midwest Chassis Fabbed 9"???
If your still working on this im in! Blew the rear up in the t/a and she is my dd so I called and talked to Eric and MWC 9" is what I am going with. So add me to the list and lets keep this going. This rear end is amazing!!!
That they are! they are pricey but, you get more for the money when you go with MWC 9". Haha I put the car under a cover and going to buy another DD for a grand so I can take my time and save up and pay cash on this 9" I never want problems again!!!!!!!!
Hopefully we can get a group buy! that would really help us out a little.

Bas packages aren't pricey, it's when you start adding all the little extra stuff, but the base package will still handle a WWII bomber attack at close range 
. Hope Eric does something here, I'm extremely happy with mine Fab 9" and recommend his 9" to everyone I meet.

Either way fellas... His MWC 9" are amazing... You are getting a whole hell of a lot for the money, and did I mention how well built they are? Consider the cost of a conversion crossmember, an aftermarket torque arm (his is SUPER light with awesome rod ends), and a rearend that is as light or lighter than a 10 bolt depending on width and center section used. I couldn't be a bit more pleased with my setup, and it was worth EVERY single penny... Pay the money fellas, group purchase or not, you won't regret it...

Well I am going with a QP rear for $2300. His $3000 package is just too far out of my college student budget. Sound like a sick setup, but unless he is willing to work with my financial terms, it is a no go for me; and seeing how he was so unwilling to work with this GB or even bother to reply to it, I am assuming that he will not be willing to work with me.

Umm... I had mine built on a college budget... It was a little bit of sacrifice to get it, but well worth it. To respond to your GB thing, Eric is a little different from most vendors here, I've been to his shop, he works constantly building this stuff (rearends, cages, etc...), and he will be the first one to tell you he doesn't get on here much. If you have questions about that stuff the best way is to call him and tell him about the thread, whether or not he wants to do it I don't know. As for Quick Performance (I'm guessing thats what you mean by QP), that place is 100% garbage, you might as well buy a Moser or something at that point. I know this because I used to work for their shop, bunch of jokesters. Basically they are nothing more than a stock car shop that pushes a lot of moser axles through their doors (and other 9 inch parts). I've seen their 9 inch setup and its half rate at best. You'll be getting what you paid for on that deal. You need to do some research and figure this whole deal out dude... pm me if you have any other questions... Just don't wanna see a fellow ls1tech member get some shotty rear for their hard earned dollar.
Well everyone in the QP thread seems to say great things about them. Like I said, if MWC can match what I am getting then I have no problem give them my business.
Here is the setup I am getting:
$975 – 9” Ford Housing/Axle Package (1998 Trans Am)
- Custom Width (Please Specify)
$35 - - Adjustable Lower Control Arm Brackets
- Moser Axles, Axle Bearings, Wheel Studs, & Retainers
- 35 Spline, 5 on 4-3/4” Bolt Pattern, ½” Wheel Studs
$1165 – Center Section (Assembled) – ALL NEW PARTS
- Moser Aluminum Thru-Bolt Case
- Aluminum Daytona Pinion Support
- 1350 Billet Steel Yoke
$100 - - Richmond Double Diamond 9310 REM Gears (3.70 Ratio)
- Full Drag Spool (35 Spline
- Timken USA Bearings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$120 - SHIPPING (UPS Ground)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$2395 - TOTAL

Pmed... Remember in the end of the day, you're using your stock/current torque arm with this setup, and have a heavy/yet weak stock stamped style housing...
Just for the record, I had one of these stock stamped style housings and the axle tubes broke a weld, was heavier then hell, and I got rid of it in favor of a MWC rearend...
