Default What TA will work with Moser 12 bolt?

I've got a used 12 bolt out of a '02 WS6 (M6). Along with needing to press the new outer axle bearings on (old ones removed to get the brakes off upon removal of rear), and get a new driveshaft, I'm trying to figure out what Torque Arm will work with the 12 bolt? I see Moser sells one for $450, and I'm sure it's guaranteed fitment with no issues, but are there others that will work? I really wanted to switch to a crossmember or body mounted TA, to take the load off the trans. I've also got a BMR adjustable panhard bar, which I may have to switch out, as I've heard about clearance issues with some manufacturers. I guess if it comes down to it, I'll go with the Moser TA, just wanted to hear from the crew here, what works best and what doesn't.

We have a mild steal torque arm for $375 shipped that is a tunnel mount and has the option of different cross members based off what type of exhaust you have.

This also shows our LCA and weld on relocation brackets.



LCA are $225 shipped and are C/M double adjustable.
Relocation brackets are $65 shipped.
We have a C/M torque arm that is $450 shipped.

I ran a Spohn on my car with my Moser 12 bolt, had to clearance the tunnel a bit...no big deal. Problem with the 12 bolts is they don't use the longer bolts and may have a tendancy to back off on you.

MWC makes some excellent parts and I currently run all of their stuff on my car, no fitment issues and stout.

Any factory replacement fixed/adjustsble tq arm will work with that rear including the stock one.

You can not be too careful about keeping an eye on the mounting bolts as they tend to loosen up regularly on some cars.

I've got a standard Spohn TA w/loop thats been on the car for about 3 years now with a Moser 12 bolt and have never had any problems. Been good for several low 12 sec passes by the previous owner. If it was me though I'd go with MWC, Madman or Burkhart. Those look like some very nice nice pieces.

Thanks for mentioning us. Our TA will work with the Moser 12 bolt or 9". They are on sale right now as well.

Use red loctite and grade 8 lock washers. I tried everything under the sun and this was what worked for me. Standard lock washers loosened up.
