which would u choose?
which would u choose? OK, my Q. is which would u choose for dd and highway driving a S60 or 9"?
I did do the search but didn't find to much on which would be more suitable for
dd/highway driving. I purchased an 01 ss m6 basic bolt ons and have broke two gear sets in 2 months, i drive it HARD. she sees an average of at least 100 miles a day, damn school is in Orlando so top end is important even though we're not supposed to be driving that fast. Track will eventually be a some what common thing including autocrossing to an extent as the car has the 2" eibach drop and almost full suspension the car was purchased this way. Try not to shun me to much as which rear thing is extermely common, I'm just stuck on these two rears plus for the money that i will be spending, i just want whats gonna work best for what I plan on doing with my newer baby
sry bout long post just wanted to hear everybodies .02
thx Brad

let me refraze it anybody have any problems with clearnce on a lowered viechle? I've read here u have to do a floor mod w/ the 9" but not a s60? Also no diff b/t the 2 as a dd?
the 9 inch moves the torque arm towards the drivers side of the tunnel, causing clearance issues. the driveshaft angularity is off due to the lower pinion center. 3 ch. abs not available. manufactured mounts do not have same dimensions as stock, therefore requiring mods to relocators, etc. the 9" is a great rearend, don't get me wrong. its just not the best for the f-body application.
hands down, you can not beat the S60 for the f cars. all the geometry is correct, they use GM stampings for the brackets, no clearance issues, 3 or 4 ch. abs/tcs standard, plenty strong, cheaper than 9".

I feel the Moser 9 inch has proven itself as it has been on the market for many, many years. On lowered cars, we shove a pry bar up between the the floor tunnel and the torque arm bracket, and clearance the sheetmetal some. It is easy to do, and it does not cause a problem. The Moser 9 inch will handle high rpm clutch dumps without picking up gear noise. Bob
Thnx guys, this will be a fun choice to make if ant body else has some input keep it coming, I've have some time before my check comes in to purchase my new rear.
