[jarredsoon]

Ya so what is the best rear end upgrade for the tta? The Best!!

 

[tom robison]

9"....ive seen them last in 900 hp 1.3 60' foot cars. (obviously not TTA's LOL)

 

[jarredsoon]

wow 1.3 60', that is a launch!! My car has a best of 1.6 60' I don't think I'll ever get it to 1.3. Geez.

When is it time to upgrade to a new rear end?? Or should I just wait until mine breaks?

 

[tom robison]

put a good set of axles , carrier and gear in your housing. How fast do you want to go?

Personally, I am going to wait till my rear end shatters then replace it. I know that will be next August. My stock rear end is going right to the metal recycler. No reason to take a working rear end there. So unless you want it for originality, leave it be!

spool?

 

[Quiky One]

A spool isn't very street friendly...so in short, no.

 

[tom robison]

I have been driving a spool on the street for years. I have never had any problems.

 

[Quiky One]

Do you rip around corners or putz around parking lots? I've driven two spooled cars and they were awful. Maybe different brands?

 

[tom robison]

Street car that get driven daily, road trips and trips to the track. A spool is a spool, does not matter what brand

 

[jarredsoon]

What the heck is a spool?

 

[8289ta]

A spool has both axles locked. Usually when you go around a corner, the outside wheel needs to turn faster then the inside wheel. With a spool, both axles are turning the same speed, so the car kind of hops and skids around corners. It is mainly just for racing.

 

[TTA850]

For a full race car I'd go with a spool, 35 spline or bigger axles, and aerospace brakes.

For a fast street car I'd go Wavetrac diff, 35 spline axles, and reuse stock brakes (or to save a few bucks an Eaton posi and 33 spline axles like I have in my GTA)

I didnt suggest which type of rear, becuase I think it's a matter of preference. Many will say 9" is better but I've seen 12 bolts hold up to 4 figure rear wheel horsepower with no issues and I prefer the 12 bolt (it's what I have in my GTA and '98 T/A).

HTH,

Cheap yes, but durability would be and issue and that was what this post was about.
