I run a Spohn TA and had no issues installing it on my Strange 12-bolt. It was a tight fit, but otherwise it was fine.

In regards to my overall impression of the Strange, it's a stout piece, but my gears are starting to slightly whine after hitting the track and I do not like how it uses an aftermarket ABS sensor that requires adjustment. The Moser uses the OEM sensor that just bolts in. Otherwise it's a true bolt in rear end with no fitment issues.

For sure man. I don't really care what Torque arm I get as long as it works well and plants my *** end good. I'm sick of wheel hopping 10 bolt bullshit.

Yes I have drop brackets and LCA's on the car already.

Hey there's another question, does your strange accept bolt on Drop brackets the same as the 7.625" 10 does or was that the Moser that accepted those? I'm thinking I remember it being the Strange..

The Strange is supposed to accept the bolt-in relocation brackets. That's certainly my plan

Kick ***. I thought I remembered reading that too and that being the reason I bought the bolt-ins 2 years ago.

Thanks man! I won't be ordering mine until I gots the dinero in hand so I've got time to plan my attack. Gotta factor in the torque arm, new crossmember, possibly the driveshaft etc. etc.

If you got any questions, I'll probably have mine in the car in about a month or so (depending on delivery date).

My BMR bolt-on LCA relocation bracket fit with no problem.

Can you post pics and any issues you come accross? Are you installing the rear on your own?

I will be doing it on my own in my garage. I'll take pics as I make progress on it, from delivery to painting to install. Keep in mind, though, that I ordered this rear end with no ABS or TCS (although my car is a 4-channel). As soon as my SJM ABS Delete and Line Lock gets here, that will be taken care of. So this is going to be a straight up swap (I had new backing plates built in to it as well, so it'll be as drop-in as I can get).
