It all depends on how hard you hook. There are plenty of A4 guys running 11's on the stock 7.5", due to the fact that there isn't the initial driveline shock that you get when you launch with a manual trans. Thats what kills 7.5's, the shock of the launch, it just can't take the stress.

So if you run street tires and ease off the clutch instead of dropping it, there's a good chance your rear will be fine. Especially if you can get some controlled wheelspin. But don't expect to run D/R's or slicks dropping the clutch at high RPM's and have the stock rear hold up without an issue, because thats exactly what will kill it.

I hate our stock rear ends. My 10 bolt is giving out as we speak. Im replacing it as a quick fix with a 3.42 out of a 6 speed for cheap as hell, but later on... before my cam.. before my stall... this car is getting a 9" (well.. with 3.73s lol) so I dont break it nearly as easily in the long run.
