nope, I commented on the race page about it they are different lengths. It will fit but I believe a 3rd gen axle is 2" different (wider or more narrow but I don't remember off hand)Doing less with more

3rd gen rear axles are narrower then the forth gens 2" on each side narrower...however if you wanted a deep dish rear rim a 3rd gen rear axle would be what you want. All mounting points line up'91 Camaro Modded, LSx, House of Kolor Intense White, lowered, GS chrome 18" wheels, 14" Brembo CTS-V on all 4 corners, LS rear end, FP suspension components

exactly what I was thinking just wanted to make certain. I would have no problem running a narrowed rear for the right price.Originally posted by Gregs_gsxr View Post3rd gen rear axles are narrower then the forth gens 2" on each side narrower...however if you wanted a deep dish rear rim a 3rd gen rear axle would be what you want.
