A mini spool just rides in the stock carrier and locks your stock axles together. THere is ZERO slip...so when you turn one tire is going to "scrub" or chirp. I've ridden in car with a FULL spool and it is tolerable. You just have to remember its back there especially when turning in the rain and what not. It is not an area where you want to cheap out on especially if you need to drive the car daily AND wanna flog it on the track. Going full spool is strong but you have to go with c-clip eliminators which as far as I know, you can't run ABS with them and you need to get aftermarket axles...so the cost of a cheap spool just went up substantially. When I built MY car, I wanted bullit proof, ZERO LEAKS (c-clip elims tend to leak over time from Daily Driving...not all but some), and never wanted to worry about rebuilds ever again. I purchased, 31 spline moser axles and a Detroit Locker. When it locks, it locks HARD. No clutches to wear out or rebuild. Its still C-Clip axles but I'm not making enough power to really test them. In all honesty, If I were you, I would rebuild your current trac lock for around 50 bucks and put an extra clutch in eachside of the diff to "tighten" it up. It will lock up alot harder in the back. I ran a repacked stock diff for ALONG time and it never let me down. I just swapped out for the peace of mind.</blockquote>
