Sorry locklock, I thought you were going for the Subaru diff? You'll need the billet output shafts for those diffs. I read dat2kman's post as being for standard output shafts.

 

I haven't bought them yet, I only asked for a price. If you need them they're all yours

Its okay.. I still havent decide to get the subaru diff yet... Im asking my mechanic and see if he is able to get one done.. Im too far away from you guys..

If it's a 4.11 and 2.0L car it will be an R160 and not from an STi. To my knowledge Subaru didn't use 4.11 R180s. The type of LSD center you want depends on what you are using the car for. All three will work and be better than an open diff especially on the street, but I would probably rate Mechanical, Torsen, SureTrak with mechanical being the best if you are going to the race track. Torsens only come in 3.5 ratio and are found in the GDG hatchback shape, but i think that is a bad ratio for any zed. 3.9 ratio Suretracks are the easiest to find and came in all GDB - GDC models excluding the STi Spec-C models which came with 3.9 ratio mechanical diffs.

 

 If you want an R180 LSD this is the easiest way to do it.

I got a 3.9:1 Torsen.

I thought you had a SureTrak?

 

For the record Suretraks have smooth carriers and mechanical are cast from memory.

Good score, was that the one on Ozdat or you got a Subie one?

The one recently for sale on Ozdat looked like a good deal.

Nah both Torsens, I've just been searching my phone for pics of my centres but don't seem to have any. From memory they are cast but can't be sure.

I'll try to remember to get a couple pics next time I do a swap over.

That's not an Subaru diff though.

Found this excellent resource on Diffs explained.
