I have a customer who brought me a rear end to rebuild and lighten up for him. In addition to lightening it up, he wanted me to check into the new swivel spline couplers and floating torque tube. So I have and of course I've been hearing different stories.

Some say that it's the only way to go, in addition to the swivel style torque tube, it really frees up the car.

Others complain about vibration and breakage saying it doesn't last more than a few races before you're changing parts.

Wanted some feedback from others who have used it.

He also wants to put an aluminum rotor on the inboard. I advised him not to but he says he's used them in the past without failures. Anyone else used aluminum inboard rotors?

Ball spline is the way to go. I havent seen the one fail that a friend of mine has been running for 3 years now. Just dont run a spring in the ujoint tend to bind the car up ALOT!!! He has had it survive through 1 car getting destroyed, and a few head on wall shots. Hope this helps!
