Strange spool question.....

[87cutty]

I am thinking bout getting a strange spool. Do u have to buy strange axles too?

No, just need to know the spline count of your axles. Why are you moving to a spool?

Cheaper to build than posi or locker

That spool will wear your tires heavily if you plan on street driving only. Really made for the track. If you have stock axles, they will also strain them. Cheaper now, MORE MONEY LATER. Save you money for the correct Posi unit.

A spool is made for going straight. Your front end will push and dip to the opposite way your turning. The faster you are going the harder to turn and you will be scrubbing the front tires to do it. When turning the rear tires have different distances to cover but turning the same speed, they will scrub and hoop and as thepcsurgeon said strains axels. Handling is defiantly compromised.

You can always go cheaper and weld the diff kinda the same concept of a spool. I would save up more and buy a proper posi

Wel i dont have a choice right now. To put together a rear end with posi is out of my budget. I have checked everywhere. Got a strange spool and strange nodular case. Gona build that. Its gona go on the street for now. I just dont have the extra cash so ima build it strong for drag racing and hopefully in the future get posi or locker later

Not only street. Mostly just a weekend car to go to drag strip and fun short cruises.
