yes, big difference...wheel hop = gone. BTW you know you need an adj upper ca for your 1 pc ds right? It will bolt in without one but the pinion angle will be wrong and you'll stress the rear end. But yeah, before the ca's, any clutch drop below 4K rpm would shake the car apart.

every discussion I've ever been in on this forum re: 1 pc ds says you'll need an adj upper...the adj lowers are not required, but if you have em sittin in a box, might as well bolt em up, you may need the adjustment sometime down the road...but yes you'll need an adj uca (note: our cars only have one) for the 1 pc ds...everything may bolt up and look/feel okay but without one you will be stressing the pinion...

either works, you can get by with adjustable LCAs on some installs, sometimes you will need an upper also.
