Everyone will tell you the same thing, both great rears but for the money you can get into a S60 a little cheaper than a 9".

The S60 is a couple of hundred cheaper, it would also be better for the money if it were a couple of hundred more!

Central Racing Parts currently has a special on the S60 from Strange, if You would like a quote call or message Me for a great deal!
Thanks,
Carl

I always thought it was the other way around. Back on topic, I would go S60 over a 12 bolt. A lil heavier but stronger & cheaper.

That's what I'm trying to decide between. Different sponsors have a 12 bolt cheaper and others the S60. I called Strange directly and one representative said he hasn't sold their 12 bolt at all in the past year. Any other info between the two other than the s60 being heavier?

The Strange 12 bolt is cheaper than the S60. This is for a reason. Read their catalog, even Strange recommend the S60 over their own 12bolt

When I ordered my 60 from Strange as soon a I said over 400whp and a 6 speed, they told me to get the S60 over their own 12 bolt.

It is a bit heaver than the stock rear, Im not sure how much. I was able to pick up my stock rear and move it fairly easily but with the S60....after I picked it up, I put it right back down pretty quick...
