its cheaper because it is for a 7.5 10 bolt not a 8.5 buddy

true overlooked that

by BlackChevelleSS Fri Sep 24, 2010 2:44 am

Yep I got mine for $85 at the local performance parts shop. Grand Prix. Easy to install and easy to remove.
Probably take you an hour at the most. Depends if you are the luck one and got a BOP rear and have to unbolt the axles, if so you only need to pull one axle half way out the other one can stay in place.

Its the same one limey posted. 28 spline 8.5" 10 bolt

by Limey SE Fri Sep 24, 2010 3:02 am

Hey I have one of the BOP rears so I can install this rather easily BlackchevelleSS just take one side out ?? explain more please would love to get rid of one wheel wonder while I have in pieces right now

the mini spools are the cheap way to get both wheels to spin. the best way is to get a full spool or posi like you said

LMAO now you got one! GET THE RAID!

by 74442guy Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:44 am

not bad sounds decent one thing you guys are forgetting is a mini spool makes it a lil tougher to make turns at high speeds and more suited for strip car posi is the best way to go might as well spend the money on a good posi so you dont have to spend money twice
