I think you can actually purchase them directly from Strange Engineering in Morton Grove, Illinois.

"WHEN" my **** breaks"
lol,,,SLP longtubes, Spec 3 and a few good jaunts down the road is all it took for me,,even on my bald *** Goodyear tires...I guess shes got some umpf after all

I have deciede the S60 isnt what im after (all the extra componets that need to be changed to work) So,,torn on a Moser, or Strange,,,, new or used,,,

I do know for certain for my needs, a 12 bolt will be just fine

Wanna Keep my stock TCS, ABS, etc, and pretty confident on 3:73's or 4:xx's
(6 speed, not a daily driver, not a track stud either, will probably never see 500 rwhp, but will be damn close when it is completed)

Where not good enough for you
Not that at all, just like to have options and an not wanting to just drop some coin on the first thing i find. Although, i have never purchased from your establishment,,i do hear and read good things about Speed Inc, and would be confident if i choose to go that route.

Steve Burger - Your always a huge help, thanx for the assistance yesterday..i discovered i have more research to do, and that my choices are alot broader than i thought they were.

SLP Lt's,
Magnaflow Catback,
SFC's and STB,
SLP CAI,
SLP Lid,
SLP MAF,
My own PnP'ed TB,
SLP LS6 Intake (!EGR, !AIR),
Spec 3,
was 3:73 gears in a 10 bolt.
bald *** goodyears out back, Falkons up front

Go with Eric and Midwest Chassis and Performance. He can get you set up with a bolt in install and suspension for pretty cheap. The Fab 9 is nice. Thats were i got mine and I love it.

Thanx Sean,,,i did talk to him today

Givin everyone that sells these a shot to earn my biz,,even Strange themselves...been makin phone calls all day today. I even found one dealer that is more expensive in both price, and shipping,,,,than if i just bought it from Strange themselves...that was kinda depressing

Have changed my mind though, and will be going just Strange 12 (no S60) as this will better suit my needs....

back brace that 12 bolt if you make any hard launches. there prone to get loud gear wine from it.

Not sure I would back brace a 12 bolt. If you make that much power you would want to move up the housing food chain.

My unbraced Moser 12 bolt took a lot of abuse with a 6 speed and trans brake setup. It was not loud.
