I didn't know if they come with discs or not I was comparing it to the 4i that I had

So one end will be push fit and the other end will bolt up to the diff. The diff ratio is different (3.64:1) so it does blunt the acceleration abit as i have done it on mine. A 2wd 7 1/2 inch would be even worse as these are 3.62:1. The 2wd casing will need to be modified to fit a seven inch rear beam as well. PM me if you need more info as I have done all this recently.

Where were you when I did mine I did go straight for a 7.5" on my car due to fitting the YB and intentions of driving it like an arse

Good to know its a you can straight fit the 7" to the ones with rear discs I'm going to get 2l saff for a bit of practice but how many cossies do you see that actually spin both wheels properly
