Whats involved in upgrading my rear end?
Its stock with 3.73s but i got some slicks and was wondering what I need to beef it up.
I need a new diff and axles? What do they cost and what is involved in the install process? ANy guides out there?

Is the T5 stock? I would worry about upgrading it before I worried about the rear-end. Launching hard with the T5 and slicks will likely result in t5 failure much sooner than the 8.8 rear.

Yes beef up both towing the car home cause you snaped the axles is just no cool (same goes for the t5).
