So I have read topic after topic and looked at a lot of pics of cars with narrowed beams. I'd like to see some more pics of guys with 6 inch or more narrowed beams, cutting mine this weekend and I still haven't decided how far to go. I know some people hate it and blah, blah, blah, but I love it. So if your more then six inches shorter, show some pride and post some pics and let us know if you have disk or drums.

I did. Broke both axles, cracked both axle tubes, cracked the sideplates on the tranny, fucked all 4 fulcrum plates, both sidegears, bent and mangled both axle boot flanges..but didn't spin a single drum!
That's why I'm at 2 splines now.
