you could probably save w/o the new gm caliper mounts, the anti roll bar, go with a short t/a setup (-80 to the tunnel ds loop), and you wouldnt need the assembled rear end. Just reuse the ones off your car now.

I'm not an expert on the subject though. I'd give eric another call when you're closer to buying and he would get you exactly what you need.

[BAMF TA]

Lol, that still around 5k. Idk, y i left those the second time. I already have a Torque Arm. So, If i get a regular Moser, i dont need to get a new one... But a fabbed would be much nicer

[shiv15]

Oh and go with the spool to save cash. Or a locker lol. If you get the fabbed just sell the old T/A. From what I've read his T/A designs are awesome and stronger than competitors. I can't verify that though.

[BAMF TA]

options:

Strange or Moser spool instead of posi -100.00


housing backbrace +150.00


PST 3.5 in aluminum driveshaft +430.00




Not counting the suspension, this puts me at ~$3250

Compared to a Moser 9" (Not M9) wtih same options at ~$3000

Seems like a damn good deal.

Then... In a few months, i can order a alum center section with a wavetrac.





I need to get my T56 rebuilt also.
