Default Mini spool for street use?

As some people know my wifes car broke the spider gears in the posi. These car have sucky little 7.5 carriers and we all know they suck. ANyway, this was broke on A shitty *** Nitto drag radial. I can only imagine what it would with a slick. I dont want to put a posi back in and have the same thing happen again after spending over 400 bux in parts. So im thinking of a mini spool?

Any pros and cons? lmk

Mini spools are for dirt track use. I can tell you from experance that it will cause more damage. I put one in my track only car and broke it before I even got to run the car.

What he said. Mini spools should not be used on the street and probably won't be a damn but stronger

Doubt there's many. Most refuse to sink money into them.

S60, 9", 12 bolt or 8.8 is your only real option.
Personally I have an S60 and I love it.
