i was supprised how much of a difference it made....no weird noises in the back no more!
no popping when rocked sideways (due to c-clip elim.)
i even can actually feel the tires hook! that's both of them too..i just thought i'd share that with ya..it was definately worth it.

Grabbem, do you think it would be worth it to wait to get my gears installed and save up for an eaton locker? Does it really make a diff? Our cars are Limited Slip anways....

Heh, no their all limited slip, if it were posi, it would chirp around turns. Maybe its a good idea to wait, I dont want to have to bring it back so the guy can take it apart AGAIN just to put the locker in. How does the locker work, do you have a switch inside? My dad had a backhoe with a locker, it was pretty badass. Also had independent rear brakes so you could steer using the rear wheels when the fronts were off the ground.
