Anyone heard of this being used yet? I'm very interested in getting it and would like more info than the site provides. (im currentyl deployed and cant call their tech line)
it looks like it eliminates the need for LCA relocators.

The M9 is designed for single-digit E/T race cars who can break into the 9's. If you like to brake, turn corners, or otherwise drive on the street, I do not see any advantage to the M9 except the gee-whiz factor of saying "I put over $3.5K into my rear-end!"
Invest in a Strange 12-bolt instead, along with a more conventional adjustable torque arm assembly. It'll take you reliably into the 10's and bolt up to everything.
p.s. I have a $2200 Moser 12-bolt, plus a $750 4th-gen decoupled torque arm assembly, so I'm speaking from experience: The Strange 12-bolt can be installed without the need of a die grinder and a welder, whereas the Moser stuff requires fabrication skills.

well i am doing a purpose built drag car that I can drive on the streets, so cornering is not needed. The M9 requires no welding or fab and costs under 2k for everything but the diff. From what I've priced out, the m9 costs about the same as going the Strange route.
Yeah I think you're right, the price is about the same. It is a nice set up. I want to run it. I don't know of anyone with it. And as long as you aren't running a spool, I don't see how it wouldn't be streetable. I'm sure it would stiffen it up, but I have subframe connectors and soon to have a roll cage anyway.

i've had a moser 12 bolt for 4 years......it didn't require any fabrication to install whatsoever. a fabricated housing is a different story but a regular 12 bolt isn't a big deal at all
