    Depends a lot on what kind of car and how much horesepower you're putting to it. Also need to know what you use the car for, and how hard you drive it, and what transmission you're using....

    Anything used for a hot street set up, and/or an occasional use at the track or on the street with some good sticky tires would warrant a 9" Ford, Dana 60, or a 12 bolt Chevy. Usually cheaper to put in something strong enough to take some abuse then it is to keep breaking stuff in a light duty unit......

    It seems alot of folks here have been using the chevy S-10's. I'll be using a 9 inch ford for my 48 ford truck with 460/c-6 auto tranny.
    Here is a beefy one that will take anything and bounce back!
