ok, is this safe to do? its the stock rear end with 62k miles and 2.73s

not gonna be launching it too hard or that often, but i can get the 555 DRs for 96 a pop, and thats a damn good deal to me, so i figures, if its safe why the hell now

so is it?>

Whoa... It doesn't look like you have anything too aggressive in your car looking at your sig. I wonder what happened? What rpm were you launching at?
