New rear or repair 10 bolt?

[GoHard]

What would you do? To fix the internal bearings and all in my 10 bolt would be ~$500, more if I need axle shafts.

I'd love to get a 9" but I'm not sure who to get it from, or what they cost.

I was just about to buy new shock/springs too

what would I do?

I would buy a another stock rear end and swap them out.

It also depends on your mods and what direction you are headed in with the car.

[OVRKILL]

Track or street? Mods? Personally, I would re-do the 10 if your application is more street.

I shopped 3 different sources when I settled on a MWC 9". DTS built rear end or an S60 was going to run me about $2500 to my door - either would be MORE than adequate assuming your application is primarily street but would handle all you could throw at it on the track. The Midwest Chassis 9" was a little more, but have a few more bells and whistles.

[GoHard]

Definitely street and I'd want something that drives like stock. I do have plans for just a "little" more power than what it's making now with headers

[GoHard]

It just feels like a waste to fix it. I'm on nitto drag radials, M6, and I like to have fun with it every now and then.

A mwc 9" w/wavetrac would be my dream setup but I don't even want to know what that thing costs lol

Is there a good rear on the cheaper side that drives like stock? I daily drive it in the summer, and I want this thing to handle a road course once in a while.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

any aftermarket rear should drive like stock, unless you throw a spool in there which would be stupid for a street car. Problem is all of them are in the same ballpark range of 2-2500

Sounds like you're just doing bearings. Depending on how many miles it has, you just might consider replacing the ring and pinion too. That's what breaks when the time comes.

[GoHard]

Any recommendations then? I don't want to dump $500 into my 10bolt.

Yeah just bearings really. My car has about 35k miles too.

Wavetrac is the only "Posi" thats going to hold up to a 6 speed making any decent amount of power. A road course is going to be just as hard or harder on it than the 1320.

This. Or hold out and try to find a used 12-bolt or something along those lines if you intend to make more power. I've seen them for $1500-2000.

I would just rebuild the 10 bolt with quality parts and beef it up a little.

[Emulsifide]

M6 and drag radials will wreck a "built" 10 bolt eventually. I can't imagine dropping a grand into building one up just to see it die after a season of rough driving. Not including a driveshaft which isn't needed (you can just install a conversion joint), I'm $1,900 in on my Quick Performance housing, moser axles, and Roush-Yates NASCAR center section with a Detroit locker.

If you plan on sticking with the car, 9" is the only way to go. Otherwise, buy another 10 bolt and drive it until it grenades as well.

[GoHard]

Alright, bye bye coil overs I'm getting a 9"

I would just drop in a used 10 bolt, they can be had with decent mileage for 250-300
