Need Some Input On Moser 12-Bolt Options I'm looking to get a Moser 12-bolt in the next month, either from a shop I know in-state who gets good Moser discounts, or Bob and the Brute Speed guys on here. It's going in my A4 Z-28. I know most of the options I want, but I could use some input on them. I'm trying to make this rear as budget friendly as possible, so I want to have enough options to support my car without going overboard.
Here's the options I have selected off of the Brute Speed store:
Moser 12-Bolt with Differential (Complete Assembly)
Posi - 33 Spline Eaton /w Aftermarket Spider Gears and Clutches
3.73 Gear Ratio
Long 12mm Wheel Studs (Planning on running slicks later)
Standard Rear Length
4 Channel without Exciter Rings (assuming mine can be re-used at this point)
Bare Finish (can do that part myself)
Swaybar Brackets
LCA Relocation Brackets
33 Spline Axles
Standard Chrome Cover
Assembled By Moser Before Delivery
I'm looking to use this rear to support my 4000 Stall A4. By the summer I should be running anywhere between 425-450 rwhp H/C/I, and I want to run a 150 shot on top of that later on.
I'd appreciate some input on the options listed, and if there are some upgrades I would really need to make to support my build.

Looks good to me-actually the same as I got except I upgraded to 1/2" wheel studs which I would recommend.They will be a little stronger and broken studs can really ruin your day.

I'd buy a Strange from Carl at CRP. Nothing against Bob and the crew over there I just think the Strange is a better rear end. Here's mine:

I was looking into a strange unit originally. The only real reason I would get a moser over a strange at the moment is because I have a friend who's shop gets discounts from moser because they're one of the sponsors for the shop race cars.
If that doesn't pan out I'll probably be looking into a strange unit again.
