Spools are for the drag strip only. People trying to run them on the street basically drag the tire in a turn which means broken axles before long.

First, you do NOT want a spool for a street car. It will cause broken axles, as you are putting excess stress on them while turning. Secondly, you should have "Haulinassmaro" or myself do them...our prices for installs are MUCH cheaper. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
