What are the advantages to a 4th gen rear swap???
just simply curious, thats all....
having owned both 3rd and 4th gens,it seems like your just swapping factory junk for factory junk when it comes to strength..
not trying to start a flame war, just trying to understand what advantages there might be in this swap???

Posi instead of an open differential, and 28 spline axles instead of 26, in some cases.

Believe it or not but some people like that the 4th gen rear ends stick out 2 inches in the back on both sides. Im not one of those people thats why I am looking for some fourth gen wheels to put on my iroc.
