Default Question on Kooks duals and M9 or MWC?

It's rearend swap time and I'm looking at pics of the M9 and MWC 9 and am wondering about if my kooks true duals will fit or not. All input welcome.

I think MWC offer a setup that will clear the true duels. You might have to dump them if im not correct

I'd rather go with the S60 than lose my true duals.

It will fit our MWC housing even with a backbrace, however the Kooks system is designed around the factory housing tube diameter so it is a tight fit.. If the vehicle is lowered or the rear end is not centered properly you can have some rubbing issues against the backbrace.

Some customers had no rubbing issues and some with lowered vehicles altered the system itself to fit properly.. We have customers with our watts link and the Kooks true dual system.

Here's another customer with the MWC fabricated 9" package and our ultra-light Watts link setup and the Kooks true duals:

So here's 2 questions regarding the mwc 9" vs the S60.
How much more $$$ are we talking over the S60? The low price of the strange is appealing until you factor in the hidden costs such as the torque arm.
With the 35 spline wavetrac how much power will the mwc hold?

Price will depend on the options that you go with as far strength goes we have not done any test with the wavetrac but we have tested the strange s-trac in low 9sec cars with out failure also the S60's price goes up Feb1.
