Default Broke the 12bolt again. What 9?

broke my 12 bolt again. What 9inch should I look at. I like the MWC/ fabbed types or M9 but I can't use one with the TA bracket on top of the diff due to the car being low.

You mean lowered? I am lowered 1.25". I have the MWC unit and don't think you can get better.

No problems hitting at all

I don't know if the Moser M9 will clear any better than the MWC, but here are several pictures of it .



The standard Moser 9 inch rear will rub too, although a little added clearance can be had with a pry bar shoved between the torque arm bracket and the floor. Bob

What about an S60? Originally I was thinking 12 bolt for my car, but posts like this make me think an S60 would be better for longevity.

race weight is 3950. Thats one reason I kinda wanted a fabbed so it would be lighter. S60 would be even heavier

Mightymouse is not running the standard MWC torque arm setup that is why he is having problems with clearance. Mine is lowered and does not hit at all. I love my MWC fab rear plus it weights less than my 10 bolt did.
