Check out the website project zero G.com, if you haven't already they have a lot of great information on setting up the 4g63 for rear wheel-drive applications.

Hey man just some friendly advice: You might want to spell check your website. Bad grammar is a good way to lose potential customers. On another note, good luck with the car

I just got a steal on a 96 eagle talon tsi awd with a 99 gsx body conversion. so ive decided to go awd on our shop car.so i guess were going to start all over on a chassis this one is a lot more solid than the one we started on. onlyu 78000 miles on this chassis.
