Default Finally got a MWC Fab 9.

Took me years to pull the trigger on it, but finally just bit the bullet and placed the order.

Looks awesome. Couple of quick questions.

What differential did you go with.
How does it drive compared to the 10 bolt.
Is that a stock style sway bar or does the fabricated rear require a custom sway bar?

$4k and some change, but that's also including some LCAs, a driveshaft, a driveshaft loop, and a few other options.

Powertrax Grip Pro w/ 4.11's.
No different.. the only difference I'm experiencing is w/ the solid LCAs.
Still running the original sway bar.




NOTE: I've been very careful w/ the break-in procedure. Even though I've hit the 5-heat cycles recommended, I'm still babying it up to 300 miles thus far. I don't plan on really giving it any hell until it hits at least 500 miles.

If you want the long list, there's not much on the car that hasn't been touched.

Cool. So you've been gambling with that factory rear for a while. Stick or auto? Ever track it? Curious as to what the stocker has held up to.

I'm the original owner and it's got 229k miles the clock.

M6 - 460rwhp
It's been tracked, but not w/ sticky tires.

The 10-bolt's saving grace has been crappy tires. For the 10-bolt, Spinning = living.

Same here. Stock 10 bolt with around 450 rwhp n/a and 600 rwhp N20 with 4.10's and a M6 but with dr's. Cant believe ive made it this long lol.

I originally was going to do the MWC 9", but got a great deal on a torque arm and relocation crossmember and some lca's and relocation brackets. So no the S60 is a much better and cheaper option .

Looks good. I used a ridetech screw in bushing to help keep nvh at bay.
