Default 9" or S60 in Canada?

Anyone know of any shops that sell 9inch or s60 packages for F-bodies up here in canada? Been eyeing a 9" for a while but the currency conversion from the states is killing it.

Gladly take any recommendations!

I did a MWC 9 in mine. Yukon thru bolt, Wavetrack and Watts link. Shipped to USA and went and picked it up across the border.

That's what it looks like I'll end up with. Was either looking at a 9" or now an S60 from MWC. Looks like a lot of regular housing 9" end up needing aggressive clearance in the tunnel? Any idea if thats an issue with the s60 also?

I put a 9inch in mine and had no issues with tunnel clearance. I also put in a MWC watt's link later too.

I went with the S60 through MWC...I had to clearance the tunnel slightly to clear the MWC torque arm bolts/bracket, and also at the MWC double drop crossmember driveshaft loop support.
Other than that, it’s completely bolt in and was about $1000 cheaper than the MWC 9” with similar options.
You take a weight penalty with the S60, but it’s supposed to take less power to turn vs 9” in theory.

Having said all that, if I was starting over, I would have gone with the fabbed 9” for the weight savings and serviceability.

Whichever you go with, make sure you get adjustable LCA’s and PHB to get everything centered.
And definitely cross the border to pick it up if you can...the freight and duties on a rear to your door is stupid.

Cheers,
Alex
