In the end you're saving $3500 or so on a $70,000+ car. Nice!

And it's not even that much savings. You still need to buy the axles and it has to all be installed in the car. The Kirkham's 5k rear end option gives you the entire rear assembly, installed and set up in the car. Plus it's an alloy housing, with all NEW parts.
So in reality, if you factor in using a used cast housing, used gears, and a used diff, as opposed to an alloy case, all new parts, factory installed in the car, what are you really saving?
