Default complete irs

got this coming to fit on the back of my transit, but was thinking, it might be a nice upgrade for other peoples projects, its just 4 bolts, as you can see, its very complete, this is the rear end from the new mustang, might be to wide for sierra, i believe the wheel faces are 65inches apart, PDC will be 114.3, i will be going coil over rather than the separate coil and shock, might even go air, the complete thing only cost me $400 (£310ish) Normally $500 but i got it on black friday+$200 shipping to me in america to put in my container coming to the uk, has lsd, and discs/calipers, even got the handbrake cable, and these axles are taking a lot of power and don't appear to be breaking, if anyone wants to take measurements or see if it will bolt up under a sierra it should be with me early January

That is great value if you can fabricate the chassis to accept it. Nice idea

It won't be that difficult to find one in the UK.
There are quite a few of the new shape RHD getting wrecked.

I don't think some of the new owners have grasped the idea of 410bhp and rear wheel drive yet.

a lot of people today have never driven a rwd, so when they do, it comes as a shock when it rains, they should be available in the uk, but i bet you won't get them for my price, normal price stateside is $500, still a bargain, i will get as much data as i can once i have my hands on it, widths, hole spacing and anything else i think of

Looks very similar to an E92 M3 rear end, I bought one to fit into my 68 Camaro.

Seems like a bit of a bargain.

You could narrow it with custom arms and shafts and still have a very good value rear end.

Or just find a narrower one to start with.. An E92 V8 M3 rear end is around 4" narrower and is easier to find here. I paid £400 for a complete unit.

True, but the 8.8" will take 1000hp, CWP options are only $160 or so. Only slight drawback is nobody makes a proper strong LSD for them.

It's only weak units, lockers or Torsens.

For lower power levels and if ratios suit the BMW diff is probably a better option for road/race type stuff.
