From everything I've read about this housing, I made the correct choice.

Well that's the first bad thing I've heard about them so far, and it's for a different chassis. Too bad and it's third party info. I think every company goes through a learning curve. Hell when Moser first introduced their 9" housing way back in the day, the TA bracket had some bending/breaking issues as well.
All I know is that the fitment of the QP housing seems to be great from everyone that has posted up that actually owns one. These QP 9" Fbody housings have been on the market for almost two years and I haven't heard of any complaints at all from the Fbody crowd. I plan to push this housing into the 10's and eventually into the 9's, so only time will tell how it holds up.

brydon, i didnt mean to slam you guys. just telling the truth.
mine is a f-body moser,
friend "a" sent Your g-body back due to welds and got moser
friend "b" keep it. and broke welds on the bearing plate. after about 8 launches.
and friend "c" said he bought from you, never seen invoice but idk

I took mine out to the track the other weekend I have 16 timeslips, I ran a bunch of 8.40s on the motor and 7.70s on the spray, drove the car up to the track, and back home. No problems here, me shifting the 6 speed now that is another story , I sure hope my tick adj mas cyl fixes that.
this is my firsthand experience.
in about a month I will be doing my H/C swap with the ported fast 92 setup, and Upping the spray from 125 to 175 and I can Honestly tell all that I have no worries about my rear. the Ram clutch I aint too sure about tho!

That's fine, and I understand you're just stating your opnion. But, I have to wonder how long ago this was, and how much has changed with QP. The reason I say that is because I received my QP 9" housing today and all the welds are freakin' amazing. Obviously things have changed since your buddies got their housings. Check these out.
I saved the best for last. Check out the inside AND outside welds around the LCA mount.
Also, notice the bead weld down the length of the shock mount. Yes, that is a weld. I had to double take on it because it looked like one continuous piece of metal. No gouges in the weld, no spatter, just a perfect bead all the way along that 90 degree edge.

brydon if ou are welding all the stuff that good. then you shouldnt have a problem with the welds in the future

what mounting clips are you talking about, if you are referring to the brake line clips, NO. most of the other stuff is bolted to the stock rear you just put it on the new one. Except the e-brake bracket, I had to cut it to fit the far superior LCA brackets.
Also I want all you guys to know, after putting this rear in and flogging the car, I had terrible wheelhop, to cure it I had to purchase LCA lowering brackets ($70) from spohn. before the brackets the LCA was pointing upwards instead of downwards. The brackets fit fine, I fit and welded them on in about an hour, also put a set of QA1 12 ways on it, and the wheel hop was gone. This is a common thing with the mosers too. I dont believe the shocks cured the wheelhop , the brackets did, I just wanted the shocks for the track.

Mine did not come with the mounting clips for the brake lines, but that doesn't mean they can't be added very easily. Call up QP and ask if they can. It would real easy to add them. The stock 10 bolt just has a metal tab welded on and then bent over the line.
However, this housing includes a fill plug at the top, as well as a drain plug at the bottom. This comes standard on the QP Housing, but is an extra cost on the Moser unit if I'm not mistaken.
