More than likely. I went 10.90s on Nittos with a 100% stock 10 bolt, at the end of the season everything in the rear still looked great.

Could be hit or miss, I know a friend who had 2 rear ends go out, the second time not even racing, just normal highway driving. (Installed by GM, so Id assume done properly)

Both times, on street tires, practically...stock.

Wow that's kind of odd, maybe something else is causing the problem
