Hey guys,

I was thinking of ordering a rear end diff from these guys. Are they good? Is RPM better? Any experiences with this company? I was looking at the sport series.

Thanks in Advance,
Brian

I have one of their Stage IV units. Very quiet, no problems and it reached me unscathed by shipping problems. Very happy.

Not really as it wasn't my differential but a friends. I prefer not to say anything negative on a vendor, simply pointing out that my experience is the opposite of the prior comment.
