diff mods

G'day all, Ive finally got a bit more cash to spend on my car, and am thinking about getting an LSD, mate of mine got a second hand 3.45 out of an XR but hes had some problems with it. Although his car his a fair bit quicker off the mark, anyway has anyone got any suggestions on what i should be looking for??

go for either a 3.45 or 3.73 lsd \
what do u have in it at the moment

[EFFalcon]

3.45LSD is a good option.
still a comfortable ratio when used with a manual or auto

3.7's are good.. theres not a huge difference between 3.45's and 3.7's..

Id say go for the 3.7's gives you a nice sting off the line but dosent hurt on the highway..

Its just the standard open wheeler 2.77 or something in it now. how much is it to get a decent 3.45?

[EFFalcon]

94 fairmont? should have proly 3.23 open centre.
2.77 is an EA ratio.

ok, i was just guessing, so would increasing changing to a 3.45 be very noticable? i really dont know much about diffs/ratios etc

depends where u go
can cost up to $1650 installed with new bearings gears lsd centre

3.23 to 3.45 wouldnt be a worth it unless your so hung up on have an LSD, even then i dont think its worth it..
go for 3.7's or 3.9's, ive got a 5spd with 3.7's and im wishing I got 3.9's.
As for price id be looking between $750 and $1100 anymore than $1200 id say your getting ripped off unless your going billet axles and stuff lol.

just get a recon centre and smash it in ya self. bit of mucking around but will only cost about 400.
