Are you fully against going with a 9'' then?

between those 2, S60!!! but i've yet to push it any besides daily driving. specs wise it is much better and looks huge. but 12 bolts have been good to single digits.

if i had another f body that needed a rear end, i'd look at the fab 9 too. check the midwest chassis fab 9 thread. looks good, the only downside for me with the fab 9 is the torque arm.

I have heard, i don't have any experience with the 12 bolts but, if you have some decent power when you launch at the track and your car hooks good. Then the housing can become distorted and you will get gear whine. I have an S60 its massive, I haven't had it to the track yet but no gear whine driving around on the streets so far. I got like maybe 100 miles on the new rearend.

First of all, you don't need a 9". A 12 bolt can do all of it for you. If you had a m6 I'd ask you about a 9", but with an Auto I'd say go with the S60 because you have the money.

I just installed a Strange S60 in a 00' WS6 along with full suspension, and I must say what a nice piece!!! Everything fit awesome and the customer was extremely happy!!!!
