3:45 LSD if you can afford it?

3:23 LSD if you on a budget

3.27LSD would be more feasible than a 3.45LSD diff, unless you can find the latter for a good price.

I got a quote from Sydney on a 4-pinion diff. It's 3.73 and LSD and will go in my EF next week!!

The prices I got are (GST not included):
3.45..........................$372.19
3.73..........................$329.45
Diff Internals etc.........$614.32

These parts are new and are only diff internals (no housing or coverplate). I have no idea what company it is because my uncle (a transmission mechanic) is organising it all.

All up the parts will cost me (inc GST) $1078.15 this includes shipping to Brissy :ticking: Expensive yes, but it's top shelf and brand spanking ;)

How cheap for a 3.23 LSD? I'm quite happy with my ratio now...
