Anybody have any thing to say about these rear ends?

Are they better or on par with the 9 bolt?

What makes them better, other than the bigger brakes, than a early 80's 10-bolt?

Thanks!

Waaay better brakes than the early cars, a few more axle splines but thats about all.
9 bolt is a bit stronger but nothing to write home about.

 

Any pointers on what I need to ensure a smooth conversion to the brakes?

If I currently have a early 10 bolt and wanted to convert to a 1LE 10 bolt..what do i need to think about?

I know I will need bigger rotors and pads(?) do I need anything else, like a proportioning valve.....different brake lines... what other unforeseen consequences can be anticipated?

 

What ratio did they come as? 3.73?

 

B4 someone else beats me to it. All the questions your asking about have been answered a million times.

The brake board will have the info you seek.

Autos 2.73-3.23. 5spd cars got 3.42 10 bolt and 3.45 in the 9bolt

 

And check the FAQ's. Why would I suggest that?
