If you care about handling, the amc15 axle is about 100 lbs
lighter than the amc20. That's a lot of unspring weight, in the
rear of a car with a light rear end to begin with. I don't think
there's a twin-grip amc15 (others may have facts), but they're
cheap and plentiful.

You'll need a shorter driveshaft with the big axle; the rear "U"
is closer to the front of the car.
