Spool -Vs- Trutrac

[JDHedman]

The time is coming soon. I have yet to decide between the MWC 9" and the S60. one thing that makes me undecided is I am not sure if I want to use a spool, trutrack or locker.

From what I have rear the Locker does not behave well on the street and is real bad with a M6 so that is out.

I am really considering a S60 with a trutrac or a MWC with a spool. as they will be about the same price. I know many have ran a spool on the street with no issues but I Dont know how many were M6 like I am. I plan on running a 4.10 or 4.30 and using the car 80%street ans 20% track. the car will not see over 700hp ever and that would be years down the road.

turns I just dont want to have a loud or clunky rear

do not spool it. you'll regret it for a street car.

Yea spools suck. I have a locker and because of the huge amount of pinion lash I would not recommend for a m6 car. Just a nice hd posi/ trutrack should do you well.

ive read on ls1tech about a lot of people complaining about breaking the trutrac in the s60 with a 6 speed. i am have a spool in my s60 and my car and its a m6. it does fine on the street the only thing you cant do is make really sharp turns but there has not been a parking lot or spot i cant drive into. it does make some noise though. also for the s60 a spool is cheaper.

You can spool it if you don't mind the inside tire "scrubbing" on tight turns.

Spools are fun! It's not that bad just don't expect to turn like you used to especially at low speeds

youd seriously be better off going with a locker if its gonna see alot of street driving instead of a spool...i personally went with a tru-trac in my moser 9in. cant even tell a difference from stock, and it will hold power.

I have the S60 as well w/trutrac. noisy as hell as far as whine from the gears. I do run 4.10's. the fit under the car is not the best if you relocate the torque arm but you can do some mods to help this. they are strong as hell and work great on the street and at the track.

I think most aftermarket rears are loud regardless. Just have to make the car louder or deal with it. I thought it was loud as hell at first, now only passengers notice it. I also hear what brand of gears make a difference. I have Richmond which are known to be very loud. Decel is when the locker is loud. Cruising isn't so bad.

agreed. It does not bother me in the least now. was a bit annoying in the beginning and other will question it when riding in it. I just crank up the tunes.
