I have a welded 14bff and its not bad at speed, its when you get into a parking lot that you really notice it, and have to take it easy. If its a ff have fun welding that thing into a big ball.
If it sees any kind of street driving you will not want to weld it up. Detroits aren't that expensive for the FF.

I have a welded rear in my truck and it gets driven all the time on the street.... Spools and welded rears are almost better for the street then detroits... Have you ever had a detroit load up then unload on you in a corner?? Spools and welded rear end are consistant.. always. You will get used to it and learn how to drive with it. Thery are fine once ya get used to them and as long as you dont turn it lock to lock in a parking lot or at a stop sign you wont realy hear it. They do tend to wear your tires faster though, ya need to keep them rotated and at the right pressure always....
You would be better still to save your cash for an arb. That way you can turn the fawker off all together.. Good luck
