Default Another differential question -

OK - this is probably a dumb one, but I'm going to throw it out anyway. I've owned SPF 243 for about ten years now and have had nothing but $$ trouble with the 8.8 IRS that came with the car. Track, street - it's always something with the CV half shafts (and no, I don't drive the car that hard.)
But today - things got personal. I had the right rear half shaft completely fail at 70 mph and only the grace of God and dumb luck allows me to post this. Very close to a side rollover and multiple pile up with the cars behind me. Not happy.
Soooo - I've pretty much had it with this rear end.
Here's my question ... has anyone fitted a standard 9" solid axle to a Superformance? Is there any reason why I shouldn't consider it?

Thanks -
