Brakes are included, you just need to swap over your hubs. A new upper ball joint is pressed into the spindle too.

New addition;

]

We just recently received a new trick HD Differential from Eaton… should be a sure winner given the limited options that our out there for C5 & C6 Corvettes. This is Eatons New Billet Trac-Aid Differential. It Comes with Hardened shafts Left and Right, No Bevel Washers (that often fail in stock carriers), 3 hardened Spider Gears vs 2, Spiral Loc half shaft retainers, all this in a billet aluminum case that weighs almost 6 pounds lighter than stock.

Heres a few more pics.... It's a beautiful piece... almost a shame you can’t see it after installation. Top quality fit and finish.







I can say this… we are early in testing, But its showing great promise. We put one in a car last week and he headed to the track. On his first few passes he hit a 1.36 60’ ft - during it’s very first time out!!!!

ECS is the exclusive distributer of these carriers, and right now have access to 10 units.

This also includes both hardened shafts which is nearly the cost of the carrier by itself.

The best part is that these are priced right… $779.99 plus s&h. Dealers pricing is available.

Want one? We will fully build your rear in house with this carrier, new gears (ratio of your choice) for $2379. Turn Key. Less expensive if you want to keep your current gears.

We only have one of these on the street and track right now, but I know a few of you should be ready to look at one for an off season upgrade.

Naturally that depends on gearing and tire height and converter used, but my car ran at about 2600 at 60 mph.

I had a 3.42 in there with stock dia tires for the street, with 28's or a large drag radial, it would only get better.

Question about the "torque tamer". My car's making low to mid 600's (depending on the dyno) and is just street driven. Not looking to take it to the track but might one day for fun. Are there any advantages to running the torque tamer on a street car?

Soon I am going to get the SAFETY LOOPS - wanted to get them before Dec 4th but not able to -

Those I would have to say are one of the nicest pieces made - Perfect and light weight too!

Thanks,Matt

It depends on how hard you can and do launch the car on the street. If you run a drag radial/ET street and "exercise" the car regularly with the car hooking, then it's really no different then being at the track and it's not a bad idea. If you have stock tires, really do not punch it regularly, then you will not be putting the load on the car to make this product necessary.
