Default Currie 12 bolt?

Anyone have any info on the currie 12 bolts? I'm constantly reading about the strange and moser rears but I never see anything about currie and the search doesn't return anything. I live about a block from their shop, so it'd be much less hassle getting my rear from them instead of mail order......

i appreciate your determination to answer my question but believe me, i read everything i could on curries site before i made this thread. I'd like to hear from people that don't have affiliation with currie(like the links you posted), with un-biased opinioins, to answer up. sure i can walk down to currie and ask them my self but i don't think they're going to tell me "ours is good, but your better of going with a so and so....". i've rear that moser 12 bolts like to back out the torque arm bolts, or that they are more prone to to making noise after hard launches that strange setups, thats the kinda info i was hoping for.....

i have a strange S60 with 4.30 gears in my M6 LS1 TA, and it is quiet as can be, feels smooth as glass while driving, and i can strap on slicks and pick the wheels up at the track and not worry about anything....plus its cheaper and stronger then a 12 bolt and as strong, if not stronger than a 9 inch...


ive never heard of currie, so they probly suck.

Currie is rather big in the off-road market, and there are some Currie axles under some very badass, powerful trucks running some very large tires. They most definitely do not suck, at least not for that market.

currie's yolk is 1330 instead of a stronger 1350, I'd be worried about the driveshaft letting go.
