Remember I won't be racing it. Maybe get on it a little once and a while.

Also since it's going to be a DD, I want the ABS and all that to still work. Will the 9" accommodate the ABS? Thanks.
I'd think the S60 is stronger because it is 9.75" compared to 9". But the 9" can be built strong to. The S60 will need a shorter driveshaft, and most people run an 1" longer driveshaft with the 9".. So don't forget to factor that.

I removed ABS from my car because it was cheaper..hah But, Moser does have an ABS option.. I think it is $175.

If you really want a nice rearend, go with the Midwest Chassis fab 9". It is pretty cheap even fully loaded.

Either way, be prepared to spend about $3000 if you get a new driveshaft.
