Re: no grip for shizit

A posi or limited slip center section would be the best option. Even a sticky (one) in an open rear probably wouldn't do as good as a posi or limited slip center section.

Short of that, its just a matter of ROLLING into the throttle, not overpowering the tire & not STABBING it to the floor.

I don't quite understand you......

4th gen rears are a DIRECT bolt-in, other than the E-brake cables. Don't hafta do anything to the brakes, master cylinder, booster....Nothing.

OK, but I thought the PBR calipers & rotors were the same, from 89-97?

Look at the center section cover.....9 bolt heads = a 9-bolt &, you guessed it....10 bolt heads = a 10-bolt. Only 2 options there were (except the RARE Dana 44 under the Firehawks)
