<<<<C5 Diff output shafts, let's compare the options available..........
I've done this swap a few times, often replacing the long shaft only

I believe the above are all 300M
Who else?? Is there ony a few shops making these, and some are relabeled?
4. OE GM C6Z06, I have not seen these yet, I understand they are not 300M, just a thicker version of stock c5?
I do NOT have a degree in materials science, just looking for feedback on what are the typical break items and what you have chosen to fortify your running gear in the C5
Thanks very much for the info!

I just followed these two post and upgraded my differential to C6 output shafts (both long and short) DTE Bellview springs, new C6 clutches and DTE spider cross shaft.
I also have the FIRST Transzilla T60/60 T56 up-graded Transmission in the country. George at Rockland Transmissions,, ROCKS!
Here is the post that made my diff up grade happen.
- C5, Its Go Time, Output Shaft Install - Left and Right : http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1573404441
- C5 RAGTOPWS6, Differential UP-Grade; http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...-z06-guts.html
I also found the C5 Differential setup tool from Kent/Moore for 96 bucks!
