I think thats the closest you are going to get if you pay them for backing plates and have them ship it assembled. Then all you got to do is splice the ABS wire.

Just make sure it has the swaybar mounts welded on. I know the Strange does and the Moser does not

Strange has about the closest thing to a true bolt-in rear end, but you will have some downtime as you'll need to send them your backing plates if you don't have an extra set laying around (same with the reluctor rings if you have a 4-channel car). If the 12-bolt or S60 don't suit you, I'd call up Scott at Driveline Solutions and have him whip up a 9". I'm pretty sure he will weld on the sway bar brackets, and do any pressing of backing plates (provided you send them to him) so that you could have a true bolt-in there too.

Good choice! scott is the man for gettin some rear end

he built my 9" and it was a direct bolt in for me, he even carries backing plates so you can just buy a new set if you want to, he also welds on the sway-bar mounts! and don't bother with an aluminum shaft...they are good for twisting up. get a steel or chromoly one from scott while you're ordering a new rear end!

this is true, i'm still not a big fan of them...the "extra" weight and blablabla from a steel or chromoly one isn't enough to get my undies in a bundle

Steel driveshafts can transmit vibrations up through the drivetrain that aluminum driveshafts don't. I haven't yet seen a lifetime warrantied PST 3.5" aluminum driveshaft break. Bob
