Blew up my rear end. What are my options?
I blew the rear last night and I'm thinking 12 bolt is in the future. I haven't researched this much as I hadn't planned on needing one anytime soon. From the little I've seen I think I want to go with the Strange 12 bolt with the 3.90 gears. However, I noticed looking on some sites that the Moser looks to be a little bit cheaper. I also have a buddy who has been waiting on his Strange 12 bolt to ship now for several months. I don't really want to wait several months to get my car on the road again. Guess I'm just trying to figure out what I should get, and which direction I should go.

ive always heard wonderful things about the Moser 12 bolt.
you sure you want a gear set that radical for the street? you might have trouble locking up. I read that MTI recommends no more than 3.73s for M6 but the guys on this board will tell you you need > 4 ratio

I've heard only good things about the Moser, but the 3.90 gear ratio Strange offers is very appealing. I don't want a 4.10 since I'll be spraying, but I'd like something a bit steeper than a 3.73. Guess it time to make some calls, plus I still need to pull the cover on the rear and see what I actually did break.

I ordered my strange about 3-4 weeks ago from tbyrne, and it came in this week.
I ordered it with the 3.73's and super strength posi and alum cover support, so it was pretty pricey but it came in about a month. Maybe I was lucky as far as the ship time but I got the strange because it's more of a "bolt in" and doesn't require modifications.
