Default Midwest 9" vs moser M9??

can anyone give me prices on both everything but the center section! I already have one!. I like both, but i like how the M9 torque arm cross member is because it replaces the trans cross member the Midwest doesn't so that's more weight and less ground clearance where it bolts up.

Midwest makes either kind of torque arm, you pick when you order.

As stated, you can order the torque arm to relocated to the transmission mount. In fact that is how my setup is.

a -3 each side braced housing just came off the fixture this morning... you could have it in a few days unless you want it powdercoated.

Im getting rid of my 12 bolt. Need a 9" with in a week. Im looking at two of the sponsors that have posted here and one other im not sure if they are a sponsor. I have siome basic questions. My 12 bolt now has the reluctor ring attached to the ring gear. This is used for both, ABS and TCS right? I DO NOT have a TCS switch. I did however get a LOW TRAC light when the bolts back out of ring gear and wiped out 7 teeth on the reluctor ring. What 9" do I order? With ABS? This is a 3 channel rear end, correct? I have two WSS up front and zero WSS in the rear. I want 31 spline axles, 4.11 gears, and tru trac as this will be a street/strip car. Opinions? Answers? The 3rd rear end place told me this was an 800 dollar upgrade, all I want is for it to bolt up easily, and not have a funny lights. I have HPT Pro so getting everything else changed is no problem. Thanks for any info, I need a 9" ASAP.

I love my new midwest 9". The attention to EVERY little detail is amazing, nothing is left out or forgotten. If it was on teh stock one, its on the new one, no guessing games and BS to get stuff to go together. Very high quality product.

Go with the Midwest, without a doubt. The quality is great and for the price there's no comparison. It's well worth the wait that many of us experienced, but in your case it doesn't seem like you'll even have to wait long so it shouldnt even be a question
