IIRC Spools are the BEST way to go. For any car. For the street, or lots of turns…very very bad. Axles shoot out. Chew the shit outta your tires, wheel/axle bearing. All kinds:) Every tried pushing a full drag car with a spool? Next to impossible to move by your self. That’s straight, never mind turning! HA ---

my buddy has a welded diff in his 91 240. Wheels skip/hop while turning at slow speeds. noisey. but when used for the whole purpose of having a welded diff its insane! 😃 very fun. Also the inevibility (sp?) of the welds breaking destroying your diff 😉 ---

2way is actually noiser. Whenever I did sharp turns or esp. reversing, sounded like someone took a sledge hammer to the rear subframe. JUST got a welded installed and so much quieter than an actual 2way. Only thing I don’t like about a welded is in reverse, if the tires are too grippy, it literally stops the car whereas a 2way would just clunk. ---
