West Coast Corvette 3.73 Diff
West Coast Corvette sells 3.73 Differentials for $1,295. Has anyone purchased their set? If so what has been your experience. I see Nate at Extreme has the set up for $1,695. $400. is a big save.
You feedback would be appreciated!!!

The west coast unit is rebuilt with aftermarket gears, and requires a core exchange.

Can't speak for the 3.73 Diff but I have ordered quite a bit from them and have been totally satisfied with the quality and service. $400 is a big difference.

I beleive the one nate sells is the actual getrag factory built 3.73 unit, and does not require an exchange.
Concur, I prefer the Getrag gear, but I know others that have not had a problem with the rebuilt units.

Re: West Coast Corvette 3.73 Diff (evil-1)
I've had the Getrag 3.73's for over a year...sold my old 3.42's for $500...the answer is simple....get new factory Getrag gears, save $100, and I got a 90 day warranty with the new unit. :cheers:
