I'd go with a Strange 12 bolt because of the way the torque arm is mounted. The Strange has 2 long bolts that go through the housing where as the Moser has 4 small bolts and they can come loose. I myself have never had an issue with my Moser 12 bolt and the torque arm bolts coming loose. 12 bolts will make alot of noise and whine but it doesn't really bother me since the exhaust is so loud.

Nothing wrong with a 12 bolt though some tend to swear they aren't worth a ****. I chose a 12 bolt bc they are strong, and fitment is on par with a stock rear end, which was important for me. Here's my strange install if you're interested:

The Strange 12b is the way to go if you are set on that rearend. You may also consider the Strange S60 rearend as it is a much stronger package, and a bit less cost.

12 bolts are great with an A4, an M6, not so much.

I had a Moser 12, broke it 3 times, but it also delivered a 1.47 60ft with a 6500 rpm launch.

I have the MWC 9" now.
