I paid 200 for mine on Craigslist, came with brakes and control arms as well. Also I wouldn't let go of your stock rear end to quick, run the new one for a bit to make sure it's all good to go first. That way if something happens you have the original to fall back on.

Well everything I purchased was brand new from AM so I spent $1200. Now I gotta have a shop instal it all. I will let everyone know how my car feels when its done.

I found a rear end it says its a 28 spline 8.8 is that what I want? I found a 31 spline to but that's for aftermarket gt axles right?

I can't remember exactly but do some research I seem to remember hearing the 94-98 were not as wide as 99-04?? Don't quote me on that, I might be off my rocker.......

I believe you're right, but I think all the brakets for the control arms are in the correct place. All you should need are some wheel spacers to keep your wheels from looking sunken in
