yes.
If you plan on pushing it at all.....
The f-body rear end has commonly broken on cars with even stock internals.
There are many companies selling ford 9" rears with all the brackets needed to bolt in an F-body. Direct bolt in.
It is a question of "when" not "if" you will break it.

Do you have any names or websites of these companies?

A4, you can get lucky and have absolutely no problems with the 10bolt, i know of a few with A4's spraying 150+ out of the hole with no breakage, some have cut 60' times in the 1.5 range and one quite a few times in the 1.4x range
M6 yes, with traction, it WILL break
if you dont plan on anything too much better then a ~2sec 60' time with an M6, the 10bolt will be fine, for a long while atleast
to answer your question, it depends on how the car is going to be driven and which transmission you have
if i had an A4, i wouldnt have the Moser right now

I'm personally not gonna risk hitting the button AT ALL until I get a new rear for fear that it'll come apart. OBTW, this is my 3rd rear and LAST 10bolt. I killed the others with a comparatively weak 355.
