Default a few critical things...

brainbugnj,

two critical things before you order...

Make sure you figure out up front if you will be going with and staying with bolt-on or Pin Drive wheels AND the related wheel offsets for those. Unique provides two different differential widths, and the narrowed rear end is worth getting if you plan on using deep set rear wheels or pin-drives with hubs. Alan/Maurice can explain it... The pin-drive or deep dish bolt-on wheels will stick out if you go with the wider 55" vs. the 52.5" setup. I ended up having to narrow my last car to 52.5, and gee, that was loads of fun to do over again! Well worth it later...

Also, be sure to do the Carrera coil-over adjustable shocks in the front and rear, along with sway-bars and the rear stabilization setup that goes from the differential to the back of the car. To me, the good coilovers, sway-bars (front and rear), along with the stabilization kit and rear trailing arms makes a drastic difference in how the cars drives, handles, and maintains much improved control; especially coming in/out of turns. Good Luck.
