Manual, drag radials on the street and at the track and no problems yet. Made 60 or so passes at the track on dr's. 4:10's, solid pinion spacer, stud kit, support cover.

Where's the "M6 broke it multiple times" option? If I did it all over again, I would have done a 12bolt/9" from the get go... All my breakage was done on Nittos

oh and btw im on my 3rd diff, 5th set of gears, 2nd set of axles...

oh and mine is girdled if that matters.. 7.5" 10 bolts are worthless and not worth the metal they are made of

THIS IS BERY INTERESTING INFORMATION. Did you all notice that 75% + of the people using ET STREETS or Drag Radials have not had problems.

What I'd like to see is a direct comparison of tire setup to short times. The A4 cars are going to be able to leave harder, so we'll just leave it to the M6 cars. Those guys with M6 and ET Streets on a stock rear, how hard are you getting out of the hole???

That in itself is going to say a lot I think.

M6, Street Twin, N2O the stock 10 bolt did not stand a chance. First it was the posi, then it was the ring gear, then it was the axles. Most damage was on drag radials but the gears broke on the street. Went with a 9" and no problems so far.
