Advice on ordering Strange 12-Bolt I am planning to order a Strange 12-bolt next week and would be appreciative of people’s advice/suggestions on the exact specs. I think I know what I want but I would feel more comfortable if I had a few second opinions.
As background, my car is a 1999 Z28 A4. My only mods so far are a 3200 stall converter, lid, cold air induction, 3.73 gears (going to 4.10) and E.T. Streets. Current best is 12.54 but generally 12.70’s and 12.80’s depending on weather. Looking ahead, I can’t foresee making mods that would take me quicker than 12.00 on a good air day because I don’t want to install a roll-bar and because I want to remain eligible for Street class.
My questions:
1) Yes or no on the upgrade to a heavy duty Posi (seems like it would be overkill for my situation)?
2) Yes or no on the upgrade to the aluminum cover (again, overkill?)?
3) Are stock lugs ½ inch or 12mm?
4) Is there anything else I need to specify?

Re: Advice on ordering Strange 12-Bolt Stock wheel studs are 12mm x 1.5mm. If you don't ask for 1/2in they will probably put the metric ones in. So tell them what you want.

Re: Advice on ordering Strange 12-Bolt Theres a great thread on this by Fulton where we went over everything. Go thru it.

Mine came with GM motive gears... I was on a 2 week waiting list for gears and I guess they grabbed any gears they could. Needless to say they didn't last 100 miles. I had it serviced (Strange covered it all...great cust. support) and they gave me better gears.
