I would use FRPP only when it comes to those parts, but that is just my opinion.

depends on what you have to spend. i dont think you want to go all out, but i may be wrong. you could upgrade your diff, or your axles. you should not need bearings yet unless you have high mileage (but doubtful on 05+) you could do a 9" swap if you wanted to go all out! moser sells a kit for that

you already have a good posi set up and 31 spline axles. they did it right for a change. just make sure you get installation kit with it if you are installing them yourself and don't forget you have to add an additive to the lube for the posi clutches. you may consider an aftermarket diff cover. i'm running FFRP 410's and love 'em.

i have a 06 with under 1k miles still. I dont want to go all out, i just want it to hold 500ish HP. Im using motive 4.10's. Im used to fox stangs that always had rear issues.

Im going to have a shop do the gears. I tried once and they wined like a SoB, and i ruined the gears. So i now trust people that do this for a living

What Diff and style should i get? This is a summer daily driver and weekend track runner. Are the c-clip eliminators help with this amount of power?

many people have had problems with motive gears, and some have been ok. my local shop will not use motive gears for the 05+ stangs. for some reason the rear ends are fussy and many people have trouble getting them set-up the first time and have to re shim them.

Stick with Ford Racing gears. Never heard of anyone with a problem with them. If you have more than a few thousand miles on it go with an install kit too. Leave the rest of the diff alone. It's all good stuff and is a limited slip already.

FRPP gears are the best ring and pinion you can use on are cars.
They were also made just for are cars.

Get a shim kit, you'll need it. 05+ rear ends are fussy, at best.
