9" and 12 bolt?
9" and 12 bolt? Whats the differences between the 2? Is one stronger than the other? I know the 9" has the ease of gear changes. I prefer a 12 bolt, but may be convinced to do a 9" for the right reasons <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: 9" and 12 bolt? Do a search ' 9 inch vs 12 bolt pros & cons'. I asked the same question and it was the 9 for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Plus I have an extra 3rd member. Hope this helps. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: 9" and 12 bolt? I think there is also about a 40 pound difference between the 2, I got a 12-bolt was originally going to go with a 9", but I'm glad I didn't now...my car is going to be a pig as it is... <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: 9" and 12 bolt? Here's some good, interesting reading that I've found. It doesn't definitively answer the question, but it is more info than you'll find here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
