    Default lsd diff

    im gonna get lsd put in and wondering what road i should take.
    i got a mini spool in atm but its really starting to **** me with the turning and stuff but they are really fun and very predictable but time to go.

    i can get a good condition lsd diff from disc to disc for bout $250 and was thinking just changing fluid and replacing my diff with this one while at the same time i'll do all bushes and stuff too

    or i can go to a shop and get a reco lsd with new bearings,fluid and everything installed for $750 drive in/drive out.

    wont be too hard for me to do myself i think, my only worry is the break lines, ive changed rotors and pads before but never bled lines or anything but why im thinking do in shop is i'll get a warranty atleast

    Get the lsd for 250, get the gears taken out, renew bearings and clutches if needed, then slap some 3.7's in

    No need to bleed the brakes when changing diff mate. Just pull the calipers and backing plates off the diff and hang them up with a piece of wire, then bolt them back on the new diff. Done...

    As said the only difference between V8 and V6 diffs are that the V8 diff gears are shot peened.
