Rear End Options - Pros/Cons?

[96LT1355Z28]

How did you not have to mess with your DL? Did you adjust your rear wheels in? Mine has a slight vibration after 60

Do you mean DS? I set the LCA's to the same legnth as the sotck ones and everything lined up. I had a small vibration but some new u-joints and -1 pinion angle fixed it!

No He checked for me and on 93-97 F-bodies the strange comes with the backing plates at no charge. Also on the drive shaft if your on the stock one I would be worried about it on hard launches.

Intresting, he told me I'd have to send in my backing plates (LT1) which was one of the reasons I steered away from the S60. That's actually what I intended on getting when I called him. Did you have to shorten your DS? He said a stock one would have to be shortened to compensate for the size of the S60. Another reason I didn't get it. It's possible he simply talked me into buying his product over somebody else's, but oh well mine can handle way more than I'll ever throw at it! I asked him about my DS and he said the stock steel one is stronger than an LS1 alunimum one and to stay with it untill I'm ready to upgrade to CM $$$. It seems to be fine so far but a CM DS would probly be a good investment.

What 9inch is it again, and DL= Driveline. Also why only -1? I have mine set at -2.5

I got a new one with my S60. That is what is included in that $2900 price. it is a nice piece too. It looks alot beefier when it is next to the stock drive shaft.

Yes, you only have to provide backing plates if you want to run LS1 rear brakes.
kinda almost makes a case for me to switch back to LT1 rears LOL

And what is nice about the rear breaks is when I put my Draglite's on with no spacer and no caliper grinding.

It's a Midwest Chassis fabbed 9". I use -1 because all my rear suspension is rod ended so there is very little, to no flex like you would get with bushings. There's a pic of it in my gallery.

I went with the S60 for every reason except weight!

Just ordered mine last week.
My 10-bolt died before I could even get it to the track LOL

That doesn't make scene because the (inch has the Pinion Support that makes them the strongest

My S60 weighs 185lbs, which is about 20 more than the 10-bolt. It has a spool though, otherwise it would have been around the 220 mark.
