Without a stout rear end you'll never have a chance to pull one of these.

Our friends at Spohn Performance are no stranger to the pages of powerTV magazines. They seem to offer almost any performance component needed for domestic makes when it comes to things like suspension, rear ends, and everything in between. They sell a lot of complete rear end setups, and their FAQ on how to go about choosing and ordering the specific product that you need is about as complete as we could ever hope for. In fact, they call this their “Master FAQ List” for ordering a rear end!
