Na, I'm just gonna go 25 spline. Steelie Gears seems to be the place to go. I am going to do what convert did - refer to the quote below! Quote: Originally Posted by convert 4pinion 25 spline lsd, ask him to shim it up a little tighter and slam it in go and do some skids and big ***n "O"s and huge number 11's you will be hard pressed to break it unless you have some slicks on and drag it. tony told me the 25 spline diff would handle a 11 sec pass, surely he would know.. I don't think my car is putting out massive amounts of power - I would guess around 150kw at the wheels, therefore i think going the way of a 28 spline would be unnecessary in my case! Each to their own though i guess...

Steelie Gears are going to install mine and set everything up, i'm just going to leave my car there for the day - i just can't have my car off the road. It's easier for them to do it and do it right rather than me try and do it at home and have it off the road for a few days.

It's easier for them to do it and do it right rather than me try and do it at home and have it off the road for a few days. Id have to go the other way and get them to send the diff down to me cause travelling to Auks would be a 250 round trip quite easily for me... Cant afford that... I would hope id be able to bolt it straight in...
