Default Rear End Carnage

I broke the rear end in my car about 3 weeks back. It is currently on the way to DTE as Phil is very helpful in getting me back on the road again.

This was with a DTE 3.90 rear? What stage? What stage are you going with for the rebuild? What were the circumstance during breakage, tires/launch/ etc...?

It was a stage 2 differential. I am not sure on what I will do for the rebuild, but plan on working with Phil@DTE. The car is a daily driver with Nitto DR tires on the back. I have made a few track passes, but I would say there are less than 10 on the rear end. The posi is what broke and I do not think there are any better parts for it currently.

I've got phil's stage 4 waiting to go in mine. I'm always interested what the circumstances were when one breaks. Good luck with the rebuild.

I have got DTE Stage 1 3.90s and they have worked flawlessly for me for over 2k miles. I dont drag race and only run street tires.
