Default should i fix the 10 bolt or upgrade to 12 bolt? (a4)

my 10 bolt is going out again for the second time. i never did use the stud/girdle kit or synthetics i have used all gm stuff. so should i rebuild the 10 bolt with maybe a HD zexel or just pony up for a 12 bolt?

Pony up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

When I decided to change gears, I decided I wasn't going to be constantly being towed from the track. Put the money in 12 bolt and enjoy the peace of mind and reliability.

Definatly get the 12 bolt, if you redo the 10 bolt you will regret it when it breaks again.

alright i guess its settled. as far as im concerned the 8.8 is not an option it sounds like to much fabrication for my tastes. thanks for the replies people. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If anybody is interested we have a Moser 12 bolt housing on e-bay right now. Here is the link:

The reserve is set at $600.00 for the housing and used 3.73:1 ring & pinion set. E-mail me with any questions.

I would go for the Moser to avoid putting money in the 10 bolt again in the future
