You don't drive it daily?

Spool. No questions asked. Tons of guys have spools in there daily's, let alone a track oriented car.

 

Would it matter on trips to Toronto or for that matter anywhere of longer didstance? Thanks

 

If the trip is a straight line then no. LOL. Spools make your car handle and steer like poop. Some dont mind anyway, get a detroit locker and get the best of both worlds.

 

Not really, especially if you are retaining power steering. Your turning radius will broaden, but you'll likely not notice it unless you're doing a lot of parkinglot-esque maneouvering.

And it will save you money.

 

Thanks for the info. I appreciate that as I do not know about spools. I am guessing that they lock when going around corners or such??. I will research now that you have answered a concern of mine. Thanks again.

 

A spool will make a solid connection between the axles, no slip and no locking. They are tied together and rotate at the same speed whether straight or in corners.

I have one in mine but it's not a long distance cruiser. I'd go with a locker in a more street oriented car but with plenty of strip abuse, I went with a spool.

Keep in mind a spool also means C clip eliminators, no choice on that one, they are a mandatory item.

As for the FRPP 31 spline T-Lok. It's a good piece, I ran one of them originally but pounded the hell out of it to the point of leaving very deep impressions on the side gears in a mid/low 11 second car. It never failed, but I have no doubts that it would have given time. Priced right and works well for the majority of applications.

 

I went with the FRPP diff (which Ive been told is made by auburn anyway) with moser axles, I wouldnt spend the money on anything like eaton or auburn, not worth the difference in the price. I also wouldnt go with c clip eliminatorsn and all that on a daily street driven car.

just my opinion
