- VX S Commodore Manual
Hey guys,
Just wondering about changing the diff on my vx s. Its got a standard slippy diff and would like to upgrade to a lsd
while im there, i would be interested in feedback/advice about changing the ratio.
if its 3.08:1 (guessing?) and i do heaps of long boring highway driving and want to bring the revs down, is it possible to
get a higher diff gear such as 2.9 or higher? Ive had a quick look round the website and a few others and havnt seen anything as most seem to want to go the other way for better acceleration. I dont do drag racing so its not a biggy.
In saying this, would my fuel consumption be any different or am i thinking too simply in that engine running slower = less fuel? Currently in 5th at 100kph it sits at about
2300+/- and this is higher than my vr which was round 2000+/-
Is there any other options out there?
Thanks for your help.
