Default going from 10 bolt to 9 inch need help and advice

it will be set up to accept the springs and shocks , etc but what about the drive shaft and u joints and yoke? what is the stock length of a 2001 ls1 camaro 10 bolt rear ? the builder asked me if i want it to be the same lenght as mine or shortened , i opted to keep the lenght the same and what about my torque arm and trailing arms and panhard bar ? will all this need sustom brackets as well , can i still use them? , im running a sphoon full length torque arm , does any one know where to get the brackets ?

It sounds like you are having a 9 inch rear custom made. Check this link out to the Moser 9 inch housing and axle package that includes the torque arm brackets and all the mounts for everything. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1116 Bob

You will want atleast 1/4 inch longer. The 9 inch is 1/4 inch shorter that a 10 bolt.

With the Moser 9 inch rear, all the items that are made to fit the 10 bolt rear will also fit their 9 inch. It is impossible to say what they have in mind to make that 9 inch work for you, so you'll have to get with them on it. Bob
