Get the strange, the Moser's torque arm bolts back out quite often which will usually break your torque arm. I don't have a 12 bolt but I've had a torque arm break from loose rear end bolts.

EXACTLY!
people will get on here and say their Mosers have never backed out but do you really want to take that chance?
BMR will NOT warranty their torque arms if you install them on a Moser rear end.
that should be all you need to hear.

This is the reason I bought longer bolts when I installed my BMR TQ arm on my Moser 9'. Simple. I got them from Maldo a sponsor on LS2.com

Its because Moser uses 4 bolts to connect the torque arm to the rear end, Strange uses "factory style" 2 bolts and 2 nuts
I have a Moser and yes with the stock TA the blots backed out once, but since I have a Spohn TA they have never back out!
but your choice
