I'm instaling my rear end today, and have a question about it. Is there a certain way that the crossmember for the differential to be positioned? Is there a wrong way to instal it?

I don't think so.
Measure it up - it seems totally symmetrical.

Good, that means I don't have to bring it back down. I was having difficulties mating it with the top mounts, but they're in now. Now I'm having trouble with the screws that don't want to screw in. I have the Vansteel Reinforcment disks and the bolts don't want to screw into place. I just came back from picking up front and rear Performance Friction carbon metallic pads for the Vette. I got them both for $40 on Craigslist, and brand new. They'll come in handy when I autocross this thing.
