Default moser 12 bolt or strange 12 bolt ??????

I am undecided on which way to go? It is going to be a three channel and dont know which way to go. Why does it seem that there are more moser 12 bolts being used? Is one stronger? Which is the best bang for your buck? Who has better customer service? PLEASE HELP

The main differences between these two rear ends is the torque arm mount. The Moser uses four, shorter bolts to hold the torque arm in place that go into blind, threaded holes. The Strange uses the same design as the stock rear end by using two long bolts that go entirely through the mounting holes. People that don't keep up with the maintenance on their cars with the Mosers sometimes run in to the bolts backing out of the housing, which causes all sorts of nasty trouble.

That being said, there is no good bang for your buck IMO when it comes to an aftermarket rear. Sometimes, I think you'd be better off spending the money on a hooker. There are tons of complaints from people that have had both the Strange rears and the Mosers, and those people usually didn't have glowing reviews of the customer service. If you do this, be prepared for the headaches that may be involved. It is a ton of money to spend, and there is no guarantee of quality.

I went with the Strange 12-bolt, but I haven't installed it yet, so I have no idea if it is going to be up to my standards for gear noise, etc.
