Should I get a 12 Bolt? Or 9" instead?
I know I need a new rear end, my stocker is starting to whine a little...
This is a daily driver car that will never be an all out drag car. I want the car to do well in AutoX as well as drag racing. I dont mind a little whine but I dont want it to be so loud that it gives me a headache.
Will a 33 spine or whatever (dont know what that is) slow me down because its heavy? I am running 3.73 gears right now, and will run that in the new rear... Will my 1/4 and 1/8th times be the same probably?
What are the odds of breaking the 12 bolt with my setup (A4/ 3500 stall)...
Thanks guys, I am wondering if I should get a 9" or a 12 bolt, and what brands are better.. I am leaning towards 12 bolt moser with 3.73 gear, is that ok?
I have a 99 with TCS and ABS, is there anything I should know before buying one used?
THANKS !!!

for you id go a 12bolt. since you have a A4 you shouldnt have to worrie about breaking it. if you deside to go with moser take it some where when you get it
and have the gears reset up. i whent with a 9in as for the fact i have a M6
and dont wana worry about breaking a rear again

The cool thing about the 9" is that you can have extra pumpkins set up with different ratios. Only should take a couple of hours and simple hand tools to swap them out.
