I am putting the spare (original) 3rd member with the torsen back in my 99 1LE. My 96 Z/28 conv. has the original Auburn with a set of Motive 4.10's in it. The current 3rd member in the 99 has Strange axles, Auburn racer carrier, 4.10 Motives, T/A cover, a very large pinion nut, etc. Originaly I was just going to move the Strange axles over to the '96, but I'm now considering moving the entire 3rd member over to it ? Any potential probs. running the heavier sprung posi on the street ? The '96 has 295/18's on it, and will rarely see "sticky" tires except occasional track use. Either way I have to pull the axles as the '96 has Wilwood 4 pistons on the back (6 piston front), and I need to move the backing plates. The LT1 makes 365 rwhp, but is scheduled to be converted to a nastier LS1 once I rebuild the engine from the 99, which had 445 rwhp

Thanks for the input trackbird, I'll fire an email off to Auburn. Thanks CMC for the quick test. I can't imagine it being any harsher than a detroit locker a friend used to run on the street. I aslo remember the SLP cars getting a beefed up Auburn back in the mid-90's, they would sell the stock take out Auburns from the Z's and T/A's for $50, but I'm not sure if this was the same type ?

I think if they had a disclaimer it would be to CYA! I can't imagine it would be harsher than a Detroit Locker as I drove with one in my 3rd gen CMC car for many years. Not on the street mind you, but I have driven Jeeps on the street equipped with all kinds of traction devices including lockers. Just be cautious in your application of gas in turns, or if you have an auto tranny. You can get in trouble in a straight line if a locker engages too harshly in street driving when an auto shifts. Turns with autos and a locker/serious traction device can be *very* entertaining!
