Glad you went with it?

I have one from Moser and it has a three channel setup too. I love it and I beat the hell out of it a lot!

Good luck

Not useless, most people will tell you to go with an m9 or a fab'd 9in. Personally i would go with an S60. But thats me

Its basically a fab'd 9" from moser (at least thats what it looks like to me). And it seems to be a little more hopped up than your standard 9"

M9/Fabricated 9" are ~40lbs lighter than the normal 9".

Even though it is brought back from the dead. I am happy as hell with my S60 with 4.10s. The only sound it makes is from 60-70mph like most and isn't that bad at all. The ring and pinion are bigger, so they can in turn handle a little more power. The rear is only as strong as the diff in it though. Along with the pinion angle being offset compared to a 9", which can result in more power to the wheels over the 9". But the S60 out-weighs the 9" by quite a bit which makes that point mute unless you have a massive FI car and making some serious power. I saw it in a dyno comparison between a 12 Bolt, 9", and S60 in a magazine somewhere a couple years ago but never bought it. Either way a 9" or S60 are the way to go, both are strong as hell.

I just had an S60 built - picking it up Monday. $2310 with ABS/TCS installed with brand new reluctor rings. Try building a 9" that can handle the same amount of power for that price. It's just not happening.
