Got the currie 9" rear installed today. bolted right up. i didnt have a scale but it weighs maybe 10lbs or so more than the stocker. it was a negligible difference. the driveshaft also weighed less than the powerhouse shaft but i think its only because it was shorter due to the 3rd member being longer than thestock pinion.

if anyone is looknig to go this route, everything bolted right up no issues or problems like the moser had originally with the brackets not lining up properly. also currie is offering built 8.8 rears now with 9" ends welded on already for those looking for a beefier rear like 169Stang has.

also got the BMR A-Arms in today. they look 100x better then the stockers






also if anyone is looknig for an LPW low profile girdle for the 8.8 rear ive got that for sale as well

 

Your car is ri-god-dam-diculous.

 

Sweet!

 

X 3. Your car is taking on superstar status man!

 

cost from start to finish??

 

i believe it was 3500 including full assembly of the 3rd member into the housing, installing the axels, oil,driveshaft and all. i recouped abut 600 by selling my powerhouse driveshaft so 2900. a completely new 8.8 with new gears, a new differential, axel braces, axel tubes welded to the pumpkin, 9" housing ends welded on and stronger axels woulda cost 2500-2600 including labor. $300-$400 difference was a no brainer.

dont forget my 8.8 was trashed and needed to be completely replaced. way too many 1.6x 60 foot launches on mickey thompson drag radials. i bent the axel tubes, though the axels are still good, bent the carrier gear for the ing gear, and caused major gear runoff. also it was deterined that the pumpkin wasslightly bent and out of alignment. all that combined and you now see the 9" above

 

can you say bullet proof or what.

 

how do you like the BMR A-arms? I was looking at them

 

ill let you know when i drive the car lol its still at the shop

 

yeah man i am thinking about them too, lowers weight without sacraficing handling

 

No panhard or just not installed yet?

 

panhard will be there today. it was bent like a pretzel from the accident

 

Cant wait to see this mess (lol) when we set your pinion angle...this ride is going to be BAD TO DA BONE!!!!
I've driven it, I've pushed it, I know!

How much are you going to want fore your rear end cover, I might be interested in it.

 

Where's the beef? I think we all know now!
