ok i have 2 questions (sorry for hijacking your thread)

1. what is the different between a full spool and a mini spool?
2. so roughly 80-100 for a spool but how much for installation if you get someone else to do it?

Google both of them and you'll see the differences.


I paid 600 for a spool and a ratio change. Drive in drive out

minispool is where there are still pinions holding the minispool into the center so that can still break

fullspool is where the whole diff center is solid and the axles slide into a dam big solid lump o steel and the axles are the weakest point in the system

thinking about it :p

Believe what you like, I'm not the one with an unroadworthy vehicle and a bad attitude. :)[/QUOTE]

mini spool is the least of my concerns, i havent got a bad attitude at all. iv got a vl with an lsd and its ****, iv got a vn with a mini spool and it kicks ass, the vl singles sometimes and kicks both sometimes which can catch u off guard, the vn on the other had always reacts in the sameway.
iv been pulled over 4-5 times in the vn and iv never been defected or had the car looked over.

i doubt that you can break pinions easily. the way i see it, you have the same chance of breaking pinions in an open diff or LSD. and anyway VN/P's have 4 pinion diffs :p
