Correct. You're going to have to take your rear end apart and to a chassis shop to have these new ends welded on. You'll have to get custom axles from Moser, too. I upgraded my posi to a detroit tru-trac with higher spline count while I was there. I doubt you need to do the same with your posi, but now would be the time if you're thinking about it.

I'm running Viking coil overs from CustomWorks on the front. Unfortunately, I haven't driven the car enough to say how well I like them. Really hoping to have the car back down on the ground in September.

I used to run the Viking Double Adjustables at the four corners, and when I went with the DSE front Speed kit II and switched in the JRi adjustable shocks, it made a HUGE difference in the ride quality! Linda Jacobs was telling me that it would make a difference and I didn't believe her. I still have the Viking's in the rear but the JRi in the front I highly recommend. My TA with it's mostly track oriented suspension is a way better ride than my 02 Firehawk.

Not any progress but will turn on it once the engine and drive train are sold. Not sure why the pictures are not sitting correctly. Sorry
