oh and if you could get it as an option. do it! after market is a pain.

front - open the tranny, replace output shaft, axles, shim the diff

rear - replace the whole pumpkin or open the diff, replace output shaft, axles, shim the diff.

(parts do not apply to all cars)

parts and labor would be a lot. and if you are hardcore racer, you'll want a lsd diff, a GOOD lsd.

agree! If you are hardcore dude, learn EVERYTHING!! I don't know where you are form, but the labor rate is is SKY HIGH!! I recently did a 60k for my sister's protege (that's why I am here) I saved $600 (yeah, I would have had to pay for everything because she doesn't know anything. Or maybe she was being smart! )!

No its not necessary however it’s a very good investment b/c it takes away from torque steer.. leaving the power 50/50 to each wheel so it doesn’t jerk off to one side or the other and it will also help to save your drive train and crank case and cv joints… OH and its also really good for auto cross too w/ all those sharp turns...

true, but what Im sayin is if you are using it as an every day car no its not necessary... if you're going to use it as a race car (LOL) then yes it is... specially for the "strip" if you will ... but why am i telling you this you're smarter than I am
