drag radials are a lot rougher on a rear end than slicks.... if you're gonna break it, it would happen sooner with dr's.. the reason being that slicks are softer so when the car hooks, it's not as violent of a blow on the axles... the s197 rear ends aren't the best anyway... i've done 3 axles on them this week....
