Default traction lok rebuild

i'm bout to get some gears and rebuild my rear end but i was wondering if the traction lok rebuild kit is as good as just getting a new one

i was looking at these and not sure if i should get the rebuild with carbon discs or not...

id get two or 3 of the regular kits, and then change how you put the discs in(order), ihave a link to how to go about it, itll make it hook/hit harder... 94gtcoupe might have the link... i have it at home, im at class...

nope don't have the link (don't have links that i don't need lol) but the only thingthe carbon dics make a difference on is how long they last, the normal ones and the carbon discs grab just hte same...

with a conventional rebuild the discs go ddcddc (d= drive disc c= clutch disc) but if you go dcdcdc and add .01" to the shims on each side of the diff. you get aMUCH stronger grab and willnever spin one tire

210 for an install? that better be gears, seals, bearings, clips, and labor to rebuild the diff.

it's everything

so if i buy 2 of the kits and tell them that i want a specific order do you think they'd do it?
