Default Trick chassis fab 9"

Anyone had any dealings with these guys? Just wondering how this rear is as far as fitment, quality, etc...seems like a decent price.

***Mod edit: no non-sponsor links***

Please buy from one of us LS1tech sponsors, as we pay a lot of money to sponsor this forum. Bob

I just wonder if they fit good, and have all necessary brackets, mounts, etc..Talked to them on the phone, and they said its direct bolt in, but they are also trying to sell them..

It's always a "direct bolt-in" but do you see brake line clips, brake hose mounts, e-brake cable brackets, sway bar brackets, or even a place to mount the chassis brake hose? Umm... no. Though it is the same as other "bolt-in" rearends out there. You better have a handy supply of cable ties, hose clamps, and baling wire... just saying.

The MWC fabricated 9 inch rearend is the most complete, lightest weight, best engineered, and a true direct bolt-in.

Start adding up the prices and you will soon see it isn't that good of a deal, and the torque arm will hit the tunnel just like a stamped style 9 inch does.

.......Often imitated, never duplicated. There's a reason why the quickest and fastest stock suspension f-body cars choose MWC for their rearends and full suspension needs. MWC does not discriminate also. The average street/strip or roadcourse guys get the same components and attention to detail as the fastest cars do.

With all of the options I have on my MWC chasis rear the price came to $1720 WITHOUT shipping for the Trick Fab 9". Doesn't seem all that good to me, I paid less than that for my MWC rear, TA and Crossmember. Hell, Eric even made me one hell of a deal on Strange coilovers for the front and threw in a T-shirt. I'm not swinging on MWC ***** by any means, I'm just trying to help you guys out, and look to see if you are actually saving money. I would do the only logical thing and call MWC or Bob and make some comparisons. In this case it worked out best for me to buy from Eric.

That is a nice request, So because you pay a lot is a good reason to buy from a sponsor?

There are a lot of places to buy stuff cheaper and better than sponsors on here, message boards are not the world, they are just a place for biased marketing. Only good feedback is allowed and any negative feedback is strictly forbidden and frowned upon unless they are no longer a sponsor. Some of the mark up prices I see by sponsors on here is astonomical. Just because a place is a sponsor does not assure anything at all. Its a free market shop around.
Its pretty pathetic that someone questions a product and everyone has to avoid it and then bash everything that isnt a sponsor.
There is no sponsor tax on non-sponsor parts.

You won't find cheaper prices on Moser and ProCharger parts than what I offer. Bob

SmokingSS was the $1700 for the trick piece or the mwc piece? If you don't mind? Can you give me the rundown on the mwc rear end you bought?

You can reuse your center section from your Moser 9 inch, but the axles for the Moser M9 are a different length than they are for the standard 9 inch.
