Default time for a 12 bolt or 9"? but which one!?

I just went thru my 2nd 10 bolt so im looking for something a lil stronger! my car is an m6 and has 3 channel abs and no traction control. ive heard a 9" wont work with 3 channel abs so i guess im down to a 12 bolt unless i ditch the abs. anyone have sugesstions on what to run? or what setups are the most reliable? maybe someone has one forsale?!?

Call Scott at Driveline Solutions he can hook you up with a 9" or 12 Bolt. He is building my 9" right now. I think you can get the 9" with 3 channel ABS.

Good Luck

yea scott built my 9"...my car is/was a 3 channel as well...but i ditched the ABS because it wouldn't work...scott's actually working on making a 9" that's going to be 3 channel capable!

I've read a few too many threads where people had a 12 bolt and after takin it to the track they started to make noise....either or...i just went with the 9" for peace of mind down the road when i get more power!

I'd definatly give scott a shout or a PM and poke his brain a bit!

I have a Moser 9" with tru trak from EPP and it is quieter than the stock one is. Works great so far.
Thanks Bob

No 3 channel is available, you'll have to disconnect your ABS to run a nine inch. We've done this on many installs, and the car just won't have ABS, which isn't a problem if you know how to threshold brake. Bob

There is a real simple way to take care of that light glaring at you. Take a little round smiley sticker, and paint it black. Take off the clear plastic instrument cover and place the sticker over the light, then replace the gauge cover. I know this sounds really stupid, but it works. Bob

Couldn't you just shoot the light with a small calibre gun like a .22 or something to get the light out?

The .22 might do some damage behind the scenes, I'd use a .410 shot gun with bird pellet. Bob

Another option would be to remove the little bulb for the light....it's not too large a job to get the cluster out.....while your there you could replace the bulbs with different colored ones and/or install some white faced overlays....kill 2 birds.

Ditch the ABS, get a 9in and don't worry about not having a good enough rear to do what you want, I should have done this a long time ago but now that the 9in is in and working great I realize how much money was wasted trying to make the 10bolt work
