Aftermarket 12 Bolt question within . . .

I was thinking about getting a Moser 12 Bolt for use in the project car and had a couple of questions. (Just in case it may matter, my car will not be used for drag racing; it'll be mostly street and occasional autox.) For one, their housing has larger tubes than our stock rears and our factory sway bar mounts will probably not fit the tubes. I was wondering how adapting the mounts or using aftermarket sway bar adaptors will affect the rear geometry if at all. As far as I can tell, I don't think it will cause any undesired effects or problems with the handling of the car, but I thought I'd ask the experts here.

When I called Moser on this about my 12 bolt they told me to use 3" exhaust clamps to bolt the sway bar mounts on and done.Rear isn't in yet,but I have it built in the garage with another sway bar mounted as they said with no problems.

Isn't a 12 bolt a little overkill for autox? I'd think you could find a 9 bolt or get your 10 redone for less and it'd be a lighter rear.

ATOMonkey, the car will be run on an autox course for fun, not competition. It will be mainly my toy/weekend/street/show car and it will be putting out a lot of power. I figured that I should just go with a rear that will be able to handle the power and not worry about it.
