Yep.... but I think those cars already have the big bearings and such ( I think ) I'm not 100% .

So all you would need is the bracing like the last but.... those have a wishbone don't they ?

I think some even had a air suspension I would look at all the options just to see what type of bracing kits are out there

Wow... that is nice I could see where it would help and if it starts to deflect ( sheer bolts and such ) it could always be welded on..

It looks like the 3.73 option should come with one of them or optioned on top of the gears.

I have the svtpp package. The 2012 did not come with a torsen option, but do have the 3.73
