The guy that's building my 3rd member for the 9" recommended Brydon (Quick Performance) for my rear over Moser. Far superior torque arm mount and better fit, IMO. Plus Brydon is super to work with.

Why 35 spline? This build = no compromises. I don't want them to ever break. Do it once, do it right. Not to mention I'm going to be leaving at 5,000+RPM with a 6-speed.

As for the spool, my builder talked me out of the locker for 2 reasons:

-Realistically, this car is going to be a trailered track car before too long. I can deny it all I want, but its the truth.

-Secondly, the locker is inconsistent on the street and on the track. The spool sucks, but it sucks consistently. Plus, its lighter!

I know you didn't mean anything by it. Also need the tall tire to absorb the shock from the clutch drop.
