About to purchase used S60 Rear - questions to ask?
I found a used Strange S60 rear end and driveshaft that I may purchase from a shop for $2,400 installed. It also comes with the Strange LSD Differential, Strange Engineering 35 spline street/strip axles, Strange Chromoly driveshaft with upgraded slip yoke and u-joint. This rear is off an LS1 Camaro that was totaled in the front. Note the shop owner cannot confirm which differential model it is since he's had the car a while and lost contact with the owner. These parts have 20k miles on them and has 4.10 gears (I currently have 4.10s in my stock rear with 85k miles; M6 car. Mods in sig).
Does this sound like a good deal? I want to maintain the streetability of my car and may get a head and cam package soon. I don't think my car will ever exceed 500 rwhp so I think I should be all set with this setup. Not sure if it's 3 or 4 channel but my car doesn't have traction control so shouldn't matter?
I am a newb when it comes to rears and would really appreciate your insight on any questions I should ask. Some other random info I have on this car/rear:
- The Camaro was an M6 street car (H&C but never saw the track)
- The rear end was not shortened (Camaro has stock tires)
- Shop owner is going to measure the driveshaft to confirm dimensions
Thanks in advance!1999 Trans Am M6

Hey man. I can only say that I have an S60 and it was another $1k on top of that price bare so yeah, go for it.
It will handle your power level and way beyond without issue.
I could not run the aluminum dif cover because the says bar made contact.
If you don't have TC it shouldn't matter anyway.

Did you end up picking up that rear end? Curious as to how you like it if you did. I'm in the market for a new one for my car and trying to decide between an S60 or MWC
