Ok im moving on to rearend now... :) Now I know that I have some other issues to take car off first but I cant overlook the fact that my 10bolt will be dust in a matter of time ... Ive been saving a little at a time for this, but still have alot of time to decide. So I was thinkin about this
Moser 12 Bolt, w/Eaton Posi, 4.30 gears, 33 spline upgrade, TA rear cover, 1350 yolk, with ABS.
My mods are in my sig, would I be better off with a 9"? could it be possible that I break the 12bolt ??? Any help would be great in deciding this, I know the saying most M6's go 9" and A4's go 12bolt. But I dont like the fact that 9" takes more power to move it, is this true??? Which one is heavier?
What would be the better bullet proof choice, put together a package for me.

one thing to consider in the 12 bolt 9 inch dilema (in my opinion) is what tq arm you are going to run. With my 12 bolt, I was chewing up stock tq arms like it was my job, probably due to the fact that the 12 bolt comes with 4 bolts for the tq arm and not 2 big ones like the factory. HOWEVER, I wouldnt trade my 12 bolt for anything. I love it. Although its a bit noisey with the top up
But thats all part of the game. I just get under the car every 2 weeks or so to make sure my tq arm bolts havent backed out (but I put some lock washers on them and they havent moved since) Depending on how much you drive the car depends on what gears you should go with. I love my 4.11's, but thats just me. For some, that is too much onthe street, and with the price of gas....just thought I would throw my $.02 in

id go 9" . alot stronger and it may take some power but not that much more for piece of mind. plus its dyno power that youll notice not on the street . 4.30s maybe a little steep for the street though 4.11s are the perfect street/strip gear with out a doubt. but with the 9" you could swap between gears for racing or street .the moser 12bolts liek stated before use 4 short bolts to hold the TQarm where as the 9" uses 2 long bolts like the stocker. also if you get the gears setup by moser CHECK THEM BEFORE YOU INSTALL the rear trust me

I just got the 12-Bolt w/4:11 Detroit TrueTrac fully loaded (33 Spline, T/A Cover, ABS) to my door for $2585 from Matt at TTP (per Don's instructions). I couldn't be happier. No issues with the TQ arm yet although I did reinforce it top and bottom and Loctite'd the bolts in. Makes no noise.... YET. Matt convinced me to go 12-Bolt, it is lighter, cheaper and he claims they'll hold a 6 second pass?!?!?
