Default Strength of the Spool?

Ok guys looking for some information ont he spool. From what I have read on other posts I am gathering that the spool is much stronger than the posi units out there. I am thinking Moser 12 bolt 33 spline and and with a spool. I hear it is pretty bulletproof. So I guess my question is with a spool and 33 spline I shouldn't have any problems with my rear end should I? I have an M6 by the way with full exhaust. TIA for any info

Spools are the strongest thing you can get, its just a solid hunk of metal There are super lightweight and aluminum spools that wont hold up to heavy cars/1000hp/7000rpm clutch dump drag racing but you can pretty much consider a standads spool unbreakable in these cars..

Yes a spool in a 12 bolt will be much stronger then a posi in a 12 bolt, plus they are lighter and cheaper and you will never have to worry about your posi going out. Bad part is they arent a real lot of fun on an everyday car and depending on the situation can be pretty dangerous.
