if you ever run slicks and hit the strip... the 9 inch is the way to go. 12 bolts are good rearends, but why take the chance.

I went with a 12 bolt. If its gonna be a track car only go 9''. A 12 bolt is plenty strong. A 9" takes more power to use. I`ve seen a 12 bolt hold for years at the track with 6k clutch dumps on slicks. But a 9" is a stronger rear-end. Will hold lots of HP.

Well, I have not confirmed that yet, but on the TSP site when I was ordering it, they gave you on opion window for "what brake setup", stock, Willwood, Baer... So, I'm just assuming you can use stock rears with the moser 9

If it's a Moser, it will bolt right in. About the only thing you will have to worry about will be mounting the swaybar.
