Re: Question on spacers
Skip the spacers & put in a 4th gen rear end. Use a 98+ & you'll get a better posi unit + bigger brakes + not have to add weight to the setup nor hafta run double (20) the lug nuts + have a lower mileage rear end which equals less wear on it.

Re: Question on spacers
The car in the pic looks like it has a widebody rear fenders on it to me - could just be the angle of the shot...

99+ 4th gen had torsen posi thats when the started using them
98 and down had auburn posi

Agreed, Zexel is the only way to go for a Posi.
