so i just ordered a Torsen T2 31 spline differential. not bad at $300 from ebay, brand new. plus ive heard they are the best out there, especially for road racing. now i need axles. any strenth issues with FRPP 31 splines? im guessing axles arent like diffs, w/ pros and cons. axles just have to be strong, right?
also, question #2. what EXACTLY else will i need for the install. some kind of install kit i know, but what? axle bearings? shims? girdle gasket? links appreciated:nice:
thanks

call moser. they will set you up with what you need. and are pretty cheap for what you get.
but i dont wanna spend $269 if i can get the same or very similiar quality for $225 as far as axles. is moser's install kit THAT much better quality than FRPP?

make sure the frpp axles include race studs and anything else you will need. my moser quote was like 270 with race studs and everything.
everything means including install kit? i dont really know what the "install kit" is, so i'll continue to refer to it as an install kit.
 
I dont think FRPP are necessarily bad but Moser are awesome. My buddy had them in his old 97 Formula Firebird with 450whp and launched on slicks.

I am getting them for my GT no doubt about it. That and Moser is in Indiana so support the hoosiers. :)
 
I think FRPP is made by strange or Superior. Superiors come with a 5 year warranty too (Summitt), if that makes a difference for you.

Ive heard good and bad things about every brand. With axles its kind of a crap shoot. I was looking at Mosers, FRPPs, Strange and Superiors, but Im poor so it doesnt matter. Id say Mark Williams axles but you're on a budget, so they wont be an option.
 
ok, well, i just won a set of brand new 31 spline moser axles and wheel studs from ebay for $192. not too bad i guess :D so now all i need is the ford install kit. any idea where i can pick one up? i saw a few different ones from gene evans ford (gefracing.com), but dont know which one i need. after that, just fluid i assume?
