That's cool. But the one of the things I'm worried about is gear noise/whine. Several of you guys with aftermarket rear ends have been complaining about it.
What causes it and how do you prevent of fix it? I do not want to spend the $$$ on one to then have to hear that annoying and irritating sound.
Also I'm really not concerned with weight that much. I won't be racing the car so that's not really an issue. Mainly I'm concerned with strength, reliability and best performance for the money. Thanks guys.
