Rear end took a dump on me... what to get?

[transmaxed]

So yeah useless 10 bolt i think is finished. Took a dump on me at the track yesterday on my 1st run. I am curious if you guys had any recommendation on what rear end to get or what you run in your cars. My car is an m6 with just basic bolt ons. This is primarily my daily driver and I only go to drag race a few times a year, so I do not need anything crazy. I rather the rear end be quiter and drive as close to stock as possible, yet still be able to handle a couple hard launches here and there.

S60 is tried and true... but you can do 12 bolt or 9" as well

I would go with an S60. Best out there. I do have a 12 bolt in mine, but it was in the car when I bought it. I have heard a 9" is the next best thing for a stick car.

I have a S60 in mine with 35 spline axles. Zero complaints

 

[Shibby50]

12 bolt here 33 spline with none either lol

I was thinking of going with a 9". But what im more lost with is the diff. What diff do you guys use? I do not think I want a spool or a locker as mine is a daily driver. Im still kind of new to the terminology but I keep hearing the wavetrac is good? Its expensive though, and might be too much for what i need?

get a 12, 9" or s60.

if your looking for unbeatable pricing, contact me.

s60 or 9" IMO. what clutch are you running?

I think its the ls7 clutch.

I thought I read something about the wavetracs not liking a manual trans. Just get a nice eaton posi. Easy to rebuild and parts are everywhere for them. But you are right about the rest stay away from a spool. I have a locker and it's ok but noisy

I don't think most of these people have ever drove a car with a spool, but it's not bad. The only problem with a spool I had was maneuvering for parking spots can be a pain in the ass. It's cheaper and better for racing, but if it's your daily driver, then probably not for you. Don't buy any of your parts of eBay or used if you can help it.

Anything aftermarket is better then the ten bolt.. 12bolt 9' etc... I would do a 12 bolt there's on over on tech for pretty cheap..

 

[Pillion88]

Moser 9" for the win

 

[Wolfman]

i wouldn't run a 12 bolt in a 6 speed
