Rear End Choices

[SlowGT]

Dude, if you've got a hook up for parts, then go for the gusto. Wish I had that kind of luck. I usually find out about the good deals about 3 days too late.

I've never worked with anything but the stock carrier before. Most of my pals are slower than me. The only one that's faster runs 13.10s @~108mph on street tires and he'd been running a factory carrier up until last month. He got a free Strange spool so we put it in. If I were at the point of needing to upgrade and wasn't going to use a spool, my 1st choice would be a Detroit Locker and my 2nd choice would be an Eaton. I don't have any experience with either of these. I've made my choices purely on what I've seen other cars running and the fact that both of these units are rebuildable. I've been told, but haven't confirmed, that the Auburn carriers must be returned to Auburn for service. Might want to call them and find out if there's any truth to that.

Unless I find an unbeatable deal on parts, I don't usually upgrade until I'm forced to. If you've got a decent place to work on your car, reclutching the factory unit should only take a couple hours start to finish. If you can get it packed tight enough it's almost like having a spool for a while. I scuffed the tires for a several days after I rebuilt mine. Here's another post related to posi units:
