Convert to floater or replace my axle housing?

Told you so..

The tapered bearing will take up the slack and will be serviceable longer than the roller in your application. With that being said, the floater is the best long term solution. Seems like street car with a handful of autocrosses a year. That's a tough choice.

I lost count mid way through the year but it probably saw 150 autocross runs, (5) 20 minute sessions on the Gateway road course, and 3500 miles overall just this season. Or as measured in tire wear, about a set and a quarter of brand new Falken 615Ks.

I never imagined that this car would be putting the force that it is on the drivetrain. Ron's setup on it has it making WAY more grip than I (and a lot of other people) imagined it would.

The decision is going to come down to brake choice I believe. I won't spend an additional $1700 on a brake kit just to upgrade to floater ends. I'll swap to tapered bearings for $300 and see how they do for a year first. Now if there is a way to upgrade to floater ends and keep my existing brake package, I'll explore that option.

I'm sure once Ron catches up after getting back from Vegas we'll dive into exploring options. No hurry at this point.
