t/a performance cover worth it?

[Legendary]

Would the rear end cover be beneficially to my car at this point (you can check my mods in the sig link)? I know it looks good but would that be all it's good for? I'm about to put rear disc brakes on and I spent alot of money on the suspension already. WHat do you guys think?

 

[what_stanger?]

if you've got the money to spend at the time, and you'll be back there and you're not planning a wicked built car right away that'll use a 9" or somthing, i say hell yeah get one.

i plan on getting a rear girdle somtime too, its peace of mind to me.
i know its there i feel a little better with my 5k clutch dumps with nitrous to follow, you know?

i say go for it, it can't hurt anything.

I'd do axles first if you haven't already, then do the girdle.

Yep, I agree with Tom axles, carrier and a 9" end or c-clip elimin are more important. The SVO girdle has the nicest finish out of any girdle I have seen.

I don't think I need to upgrade the rear end at the moment. If I get the cover I guess it would be just for looks at this point.

the rear covers like the TA and SVO do offer some added support and strength to the housing and the main cap on the diff. Those 2 bolts you see on them push in on the cap on the diff and keep it tight so i won't flex so much.

I think they are worth having, just wish they were under $100, myself.

A buddy of mine put a MAC girtle on his car and has been stripping ring gears ever since. Then again, his is a '97 Z28 T56 with the stock 10 bolt, go figure.

Plus the easy access drain & fill plugs!

I've had my TA cover for over 4 yrs with absolutely no problems. I think it's worth it if for no other reason than what cevtv said.

It took me 2 hours to put gear oil in my rear-end. What a pain in the ass. The drain/fill plugs are worth 100 bucks alone. Plus they hold more oil for you. There really not needed unless you pushing well over 500 HP.

Hmmm. I plan to go 331 next year. I guess I'll be getting it! Thanks guys.
