12bolts and cornering Going to buy a 12bolt next month. Probably going to go with a Moser. I love dragracing, I will never give it up. However, I still do like to take my car in the twisties sometimes. I don't powerslide or anything. Will a 12bolt and/or differential be up to the task. I know people buy them to primarily dragrace...
Re: 12bolts and cornering The 12 bolt won't have any noticeable affect on handling. It adds a little more weight to the *** end of the car, which may show a slight difference when sliding around a turn(if thats your thing), but nothing you could tell unless you were really looking for it. I have installed quite a few of these rears in friend's cars, and all handled perfectly fine afterwards.

Re: 12bolts and cornering Well, C-clip elims are bad for aggressive cornering. There's always a chance that an axle will just slide out. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
Fortunately, you can use Ford 9" style ends, and have the best of both worlds. Good axle-retention, and no C-clips. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Re: 12bolts and cornering LMAO......
Have you ever installed a set of axles inside a 12 bolt???!! Trust me, those things aren't going to slide out unless your car can pull 19 g's on the skidpad <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Re: 12bolts and cornering what to tell them? tapered roller bearings, ala 9", instead of the sealed ball bearings. that's what you tell them, and what i got the SECOND time from them.
