Ok guys I have a complete gsl-se rear end...

Without tires from rotor to rotor without calipers with the diff still attached to the rear end, what is the rough weight of this item...Im trying to get a shipping quote for this item...From San Diego CA to Carson CO...

i don't need the exact weight just rough close sketch to what the over all weight would be thanks...

 

I'm going to throw out a guess of about 80 lbs.

Throw it on a bathroom scale.

 

I don'y yhink there is any way it's 80 lbs. My GUESS is 175 lbs. I admit I don't know either though.

 

I recall reading 250lb somewhere, that may have been with calipers.

Another thing I recall reading is that Series 3 disk rears weigh 50lb more than Series 2 when all-up.

 

I believe it's right around 80-100, the **** was pretty lite to pick up and throw in the back of my truck...

I guess I' am gunna have to yank it and weigh it...

 

I have one sitting on a cart out back of my garage. If I had a scale, I'd weight it for you. I'd guess it's in excess of 100 lbs. But no where near the weight of the 3.55 '93 Mustang rear end that it's sitting next to.

I installed the GSL rear into my '85 GS since it seemed to be somewhat lighter in weight compared to the GSLSE rear.

 

yeah it is no where near the weight of 93 mustang...

Damn i wish you had scale to weigh it that would help me out so much...

 

The Rx-7 rear end is small, but they are still pretty heavy. I am a fairly large guy, and I can't lift one by myself. I'm going to guess 200 lbs, maybe a little more even. They are definitely heavier than a transmission, and more awkward than an engine.

 

I'll agree they are quite a bit heavier than a transmission but I would doubt its much more than 100lbs... I sit at a desk all day and don't go to the gym (nerd!) and I can easily move one around by my self (with brakes, watts link etc etc on there)

Be interesting to see some actual numbers though, I sold my extra GSL rear a few weeks ago otherwise i'd go weigh it. Would also be interesting to see how much more the S3 rears are compared to the earlier ones. They are definatly heavier, but I can't imagine it would be 50 lbs....

 

i have a gsl rear right now with all the controll arms and watts link attached to it still and i can pick it up and move it around in my garage. Id say one with out controll arms and no calipers its probably about 125ish.

 

I shipped an 84-85 GSL rear a while back with no brakes. So no rotors, calipers, or caliper brackets. Was at about 85lbs if I remember right.

I would recomend puting it on a scale. I used a bathroom scale.

 

My guess is 125 complete with pumpkin. I can just barely curl one and I can just barely curl 125 at the gym.

 

lmao! i remember being surprised at how light it is, but it was so long ago.... the bare housing is like 7lbs though, its super light

 

Ok sounds good so that is pretty good rough number...

Shipping through greyhound says on there website there max weight is 100lbs...

Worse comes to worse I will take some parts off to make the cut off...

 

I shipped through UPS. basically took a sheet of plywood and screwed 2x4's to the bottom. Strapped the rear to it with pipe strap. Wrapped the top with card board. I was able to ship it regular shipping and not oversize frieght.

 

ok how much was it?
