I was thinking about using the C10 4wd Colt wagon rear suspension since its the same separate shock/strut as mine (even if I were to go AWD I would try this) and using a DSM rear end with LSD and keeping the rear independant instead of using say a Supra's/Conquest's heavyyy solid axle. I would aslo think about making a better reinforcement and mustache bar for the rear end as well. Yeah the custom driveshaft comes into play, but its only lengths and splines that need to be matched up.. Its not really that hard to figure out, its getting the stuff to do it.
Starions/Conquests are IRS, as far as I knew. I wouldn't want to trust a stock DSM rear-diff to handle 100% of the power going to it.

P.S. the R154 Supra trans was duplicated by GM and is now in the Chevy Colorado and Solstice/Sky turbos.
I know this. The AE5, or whatever. They're supposedly stronger, too.
Oh yeah I forgot, but they're heavy as hell and huge so I consider it solid.. lmao. Yeah its the Aisin 5 Speed they call it IIRC and has stronger metal for the gears. I wouldn't use a stock DSM rear diff, but I would use one like it. I'm going for lighter weight as well. Not to have a 2600+ pound pig.
