WHAT ARE THE COSTS and differences between a ford 9" and a M9 https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/sm...r_confused.gif
I think the M9 stands for Moser, but not sure if the Moser 9 is difference from the M9 and Ford 9". My question comes from the fact that a rear end might be in my future and I have no idea what any of this means. Don't want to spend $2,500 on a rear cause I don't really race or drag my car but I don't want to go cheap. So I wanna know whats the best route if my rear blows and how much its gonna cost. I want to keep the Traction Control, and ABS so that means its a 4 channel. Also I am wondering about the rear brakes. Do i just take them off my 7.625 rear now? I'm new to all of this so if you guys could let me know I would appreciate it. Thankshttps://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_confused.gif

a M9 is a fabricated housing 9 inch ford rearend that Moser Engineering sells. it is the highest cost of all the rearends out there in a bolt-in design. it comes with an exclusive solid-mounted torque arm that is not mounted like a stock one. it is designed primarily for race cars.
Moser's standard 9 inch is a stamped replica of a factory 9 inch ford rearend. this is the most common bolt-in rearend in the 9 inch design. you will spend 2500-2600 to get into one with a descent center section and 4 channel abs.
if you are not concerned with racing the car then a 12 bolt or S60 would be a great choice. you can get into one of those for around 2200.00
your stock brakes will work with all of them.
