Insurance Buys Me Rear End Hey guys, I recently was hit by some old man, and my rear diff case got cracked. The people over at Haddad Motorsports told me I need a whole new rear end. So my question is which one should I go with? I know a 9inch is the most strongest but I have an A4 with around 500RWHP. I was thinking a 12 bolt should be plenty.

Since you have an A4 and it's easier on the drivetrain, I'd get a 12-bolt that way you can keep the driveability of the stock 10-bolt and still beat the crap out of your car.

12 bolts are more efficient and lighter, however I am not aware that anyone offers a bolt in 3 ch. (abs only) solution.
9" is heavier, uses more Hp to turn, but is stronger, and offers the ability to easily swap gear ratios via a chunk (diff, gears, pinion) change in about 1-2 hrs. Also easier to get a 3 ch ABS setup going.
Either works fine with TCS

On the diff ? Do they make it themselves ? Does it fit on a standard diff or does the diff have to be custom machined ? Is it only available on certain diffs, or any diff ? Does it bolt on, weld on, or press on ?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I have been all over their web sites and never seen anything on this
