Rear gear purchase
 

I know this has been discussed many times before, but I want current,
real experience results. I was ordering a set of gears today, and I was
offered lightening, Microblue coating, and Ceramic bearings($$$). It would be nice to have some real experience comments on these options.

Thanks,

J.R.

How competitive do you want to be? As a former Comp Elim racer lightening is always good! I have used a set of Microblue gears and bearings in a Q/SA for probably 300 runs and when checked last Winter they looked like NEW. Also no metal in bottom of housing.

Look at the videos, speed costs $, how fast do you want to go?

JR, my first hand experience regarding lightening the R and P …..spent the $$ BUT never saw any improvement on the time slip. Many of the better funded teams in stock eliminator use the ceramic bearings…

If you want to reduce the drag from your front spindle bearings, use the DRP Performance Low Drag Bearing Spacer and their bearings, They will not break the bank like Ceramic bearings do.

Also, when set properly, you can torque the front spindle nut in lieu of trying to find the sweet spot to put a cotter pin. After you install the DRP Low Drag Spacer, there is no drag at all when you spin the front wheels. They make the spacers for most applications and if you have a unique application, they can custom make a spacer.

I'm doing a R&P change during the off season,and considering micro blue carrier and pinion bearing's.
So will go ahead and ask...what lubricant? and how much for 12 bolt?
