Spend the $$ on a 12 bolt or 9" ?????

I don't mean that in a smart-*** way, just from all the probs I have seen with them, it would appear that you would be better off with one of the others.

Yeah it will probably cost you about $600 more to just get a 12-bolt or 9" than to build up the 10-bolt and it still will never be as strong. Talk to Ryan K about that because he can get the deals I think.

If you're road racing it then the factory 10 bolt is hands down superior to anything else out there. No comparison. There are unlimited ORR cars with beefed up 10 bolt just like yours reliably handling 700+ hp. They DON'T launch very hard though lol !

there is nothing else i can do suspension wise. if i can ever stop breaking it this damn car then i can start.
Going by your sig there's a number of things you could do to improve your suspension. Unfortunately they all cost $$ One thing that stands out is your SLP Bilsteins, they are not ideal for road course work. SLP made some concessions to street comfort that really limit their road course capabilities.

I second that. I have those & while they are a mild improvement over the factory ones, they aren't exactly corner carvers.......

Only thing is have 2 cars.........You generally gotta give up comfort for handling ability unless it was built/engineered into the car.
