    31 spline axles vs. 28

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this maybe a dumb question, but is there any difference? i have heard that the 31's are basically bullet proof. i think a 28 with open differential like an Auburn pro would be just fine. what do you guys think?

    i have been looking around for new calipers. my car is not a strip warrior by any means, so i dont really see the need for 4 or 6 piston calipers. sure they'll be an upgrade but is spending $600 for the fronts only really worth it?
