Hi guys.

Ok. I found 12 bolt for the (cheap) price $1899 + $175 ABS + shipping.
and also I found 9" for $899 with torque arm bracket + extra $175 ABS. + Shipping. (they all complete unit. I asked them)http://www.gearsareus.com/GearsAreUs/Gearstuff/moserproducts.htm

So I red many times here the 9" not much, but stronger than the 12 bolt.
But the price different is almost if not $1000! I'am confused. How can be a stronger drivetrain much cheaper than the other? Just because it is not GM? May be I don't know something major thing about them?

Please let me know your opinion guys.
Thanks:confused:

make sure your getting the right rear for your car!! i haven't seen a 9" that cheap for a 4th Gen!.. So be careful.. OTherwise 9" is the way to go... :)

Looks like the 9" price is for the housing and axles...It does not include the third member which is another $849 (and up)...

I agree with Alan I gave about $900 for my housing and axle kit from Moser.After long thought I decided a 9 inch was best for me but decide for yourself.;)

Thanks guys.
So all together is around $1800-1900 would be? So it is almost as the 12 bolt right?

Both are going to be close in price...the "which is stronger" debate has been going on for a long time...Like stated above you need to figure out what is best for you..talk to techs at Moser, Currie, Strange, etc...I think some are even using the Dana 60, too...

according to a racecar builder i know, the 9" will typically stand up to about 4% more hp/tq then the 12-bolt. for MOST modified f-bodies, a 12-bolt will be more than strong enough. you can't really go wrong with either one.
