Default Stock 10 bolt the drag radials

Do a search.....Oh, I forgot. The search isn't working. The odds are against you my friend. Some a4 cars with DRs do fine for awhile but the torque shock the T56 puts on the rear is more than it can handle not to mention the added stress due to grippy tires. Start saving for the aftermarket 9" rear. $.02

Cheap and 12 bolt do not go together. I believe the lowest model versions (no abs/traction control) might start around 1800. Fully loaded versions are upwards of 2200-2400.

I ran a 150 with bfg drag radial on a 01 ws6 6 speed running 11.5 on a bone stock
10 bolt,i did this about 10 times and it never broke. it leaks like a bitch but it does
not make any strange noises or anything. I think i got lucky so i ordered a 12 bolt
strange for next season.

Exactly.. no one here can tell you if it will hold up. Some do and some don't but I would say more break than hold up. So you might luck out and you might not

Safest bet, would be to go with something stronger. I went with a 9" and forgot about it.
