Hi all iv got a 95 model vs commodore with the live rear axle and my diff is *****d i want to throw an LSD in it what sort of ratio would yous recomend? this sounds stupid but i wanna be able to take it out to eastern creek an have a play on the skid pan but the original diff is just s*** Your help would be muchly appreciated Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

3.9's

depends what your using it for, id stick with 3.08

basically i took the car to my mates property and theyve got a huge concrete slab from were they had a big industrial shed, i took my car onto it. basically from a stand still just punched it an had it almost on full lock and it took abit to get the car sliding. but when it was sliding it was nothing special compared to my old vl ---------- Post added 11-08-10 at 11:55 ---------- i no it sounds like a typical P-plater question but this isnt going to be my daily driver. i just wanna make it a fun car to take to events

3.9's or possibly 4.11's for giggles

Personally i like the 3.08 ratio, it's just so laid back and really good all round ratio. but somthing like 3.45 or 3.7 would liven the car up abit, but would effect fuel consumption. or something even shorter if your just gonna thrash it on the skid pan

yeh i was thinking of going 3.08 , basically my plan is to be able to punch it from a stand still and brake traction, because the only way itll brake traction off the mark is nutruel bangin iv done it once and ill never do it again. do you think 3.08 will do it? cheerss

depends on what mods you have on ur car

Nah if it's an auto V6 and you wanna fry the tyres from a stand still 3.08 won't do it, better off going atleast 3.45 or higher if your main aim is frying tyres off the line.

yeh basically thats what i want. do you have any idea what the standard live axel diff ratios are?

3.08 as far as i know

3.9's That will bring it alive

yeah its 3.08

88 Chaser- if your saying 3.9 will bring it alive. does that mean it will do good for what i want it for? because if its 3.08 from factory i higher diff ratio would make it harder wouldnt it?

The shorter the diff ratio, IE 3.45:1, 3.91:1, 4.11:1 etc means the higher the torque multiplication by the diff. The shorter you go the easier it will be to spin up in laymans terms.

That was to easy to understand. Thanks for your help fellas! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

For highway cruising go 3.08s For good alround performance and daily use go 3.454s For performance around town go 3.9s For skids go 4.11s

If you want to skid mate go 4.11's, but does rev high on the freeway etc.

No worries , thanks guys! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've got 3.9s in my vs and it's daily. Lots of fun and not as bad as people think. Only downsides I can think of is that it revs high on the freeway and can sometimes get annoying if you just want to get about.
