KMP184 has a Jag rearend...purchased and installed directly at Provo years ago. Nothing against the arruminum one, but I preferred to throw the money into things that truly matter like the Shelby block, Velasco crank, etc. in the motor. The internals are the same for the rears anyway. Paying for the arruminum rear seemed about as dumb (to me) as paying $20-30k for a few phuking badges on a replica.
When you're actually the one paying...the money spent on such items is important for the final budget. I'm certainly not a penny pincher when it comes to this car...nor can anyone ever accuse me of babying it. I don't crawl under the damn thing to look at the differential ever damn day, so it seemed like money would be better spent elsewhere.
If you're going to run the arruminum thing, might I suggest you polish it and replace the removable access panel in the trunk with plexiglass so you can comb your hair in the reflection...presuming you have hair.
Weight savings? Seems to me when a fat ass is sitting over it, a few pounds ain't gonna matter...besides, it's at the phuking rear of the car.
The 9" IRS sounds promising...great concept. Hope it works out.
To insure that those who get overly defensive when someone disagrees with them don't start whining...the arruminum rearend is a nice piece and folks who have them should be proud of their choice. However...it is not the only alternative by any means.
Yes...this is just my opinion, and others are entitled to theirs regardless of how assinine they are.
