Default Pros and cons of Moser 12 bolt??

I am about to order a Moser 12 bolt (and probably an HD aluminum driveshaft too), and would like to know what you all like and dont like about yours. I want to be able to make a fully informed decision before I spend all this money on something that will be on my car for many years to come. I guess Im especially concerned with and cons, but the pros would be good to know as well.

Mine makes alot of noise but other than that I have had no problems. Get a posi if you plan on driving on the street otherwise I would get a spool if its a strip only car.

What kind of car is this going behind? M6 or A4? How much power? Posi's are on limited time with any high horsepower car. Maybe a 9" with a locker is more suitable.

its an A4, with over 400 rwhp and a high stall (heads/cam and bolt on's). Probably only run drag radials. I wasnt even considering running anything but a posi. Wont the Detroit posi im considering be strong enough?

The new Detroit Tru Trac hasnt had much testing on this board to say how strong it is. They are rating it pretty high but it wont be as strong as a locker. You could try it and see how it works out for you. But I would still get a 9" even if you decide to go with a posi.

Noise issues after a few hard track jaunts and a leaking pinion seal but other then that troublefree and great for piece of mind.

Con: 9 inch is better.

I can't decide what I'm going to do yet either.
