Upgrades to AWD?

I was looking at eBay and saw this on ebay. I was not aware of these mods offered. The posting says this:

Quote:
This auction is for a New Xmods All Wheel Drive Kit, with our best upgrades and we have come up with so far. Includes upgraded diff balls, diff rings and diff lube, and has been completly rebuilt. We have also identified and corrected all manufacture defect, we have found to date.
Anybody got any info or opinion on this?

Radio Shack offers this kit, however, they aren't in stock anywhere since Christmas.

eBay is the only place to get them right now...



IMO, AWD is a must if you plan on putting a strong motor in your car or want it to handle at its "tip-top".

Just my opinion.....but the upgrade stuff they talk about sounds like a load of dis-information to jack the price.

But what do I know?

I guess I should have said that I already have the AWD kit from RS. I like it alot. It did slow my car a bit but the handling was worth it. I have a Stage 2 red with SBP magnets. I was mostly curious about the mods to the kit that the eBay person is claiming. I emailed them but have no response as of yet. The kit they show looks exactly like the one I bought for mine.

I'd imagine the claims, other than the standard AWD features, are just BS.
