so youre just wanting to put new ring/pinion in or do a complete reae? if you want an upgraded rear you might look into a new differential. like eaton, detroit locker, auburn, etc. if youre going to be doing alot of modifying one day down the road they would give you more capacity. rears are easily torn out with extra hp. if youre tearing it down, you might as well get a tougher diff. it would be killer even if youre car isnt modded much.

I can't imagine those things cost a lot of $ - perhaps I should get another.

Well All I can offer is this...

It's a lot nicer to have one there (if you need it), when your working on it than to try to find one when you do need it.
