Talking Finally bought the Billingsley Fab9 *(PICS)*

hey guys..........

picked up my new rear end Sat. and just thought i'd share some pics to show you the unquestionable quality of the Billingsley Fab9. the rear has been narrowed 2" per side, has a chrome moly housing brace, a Strange aluminum center section with light weight spool, Moser 40 spline gun drilled axles, lightened 3.70 gear, Billingsley anti-roll bar, lca relo kit to move them in 3/4", and his brand new wheelie bar mounts!!! to say this rearend is bulletproof would be an understatement, not to mention the looks and quality of it. Jay is the man when it comes to the hardcore parts i need for my car. Thanks Jay......you have a customer for life!

Dave

btw..........brakes are Strange drag, T/A is a BMR-X, and the LCA's and PHB are Wolfe c/m pieces.

Dude, that thing is sweet. I just got my Moser 9 inch in this weekend and already made some passes. I looked awful hard at those but couldnt bring myself to order one. By far the best looking 9 inch rear Ive seen for a F body. Looks good

thanks for the good words. as for price, for everything mentioned, including the anti-roll bar, lca relo's, wheelie bar mounts, powdercoating, and the rear itself with the guts......$3353 out the door! not bad at all considering all the extra's would cost.....

anti-roll bar-$400
Wheelie bar mounts-$100
LCA relo kit-$100
Powdercoated-$100

and for a race setup you're going to need those anyway's for the most part.
