Do both wheels spin and leave marks when you light them up?

Well unless its a good freind i'm not sure if I would trust the "dont remember" part of it. if FormulaLT1 doesnt answer you soon you might pm him and ask him for sure on how to go about finding out for sure.

Re: posi?

yeah the simplest failsafe way to tell is to turn one tire.. the other side should turn the same way.. This means its a limited slip (posi)

If it doesnt turn, or turns the opposite way, its an open rear

Re: posi?

If you know the RPO codes thats the easiest way. If not then damone's way works too. Or the super fail safe way is to open it up and see. Good Luck.
