They are heavy powersucking things man unless u have huuuuuge power imo a 9" is unnessesary

agree with this
not to mention the added unsprung weight which is bad news for handling
A 4 pinion Borg Warner out of a VL is a far better option, they can handle a lot of power

btw that's an awesome looking SL/E
glad to see you haven't butchered it and you haven't fitted stupid sized wheels - great choice of wheels btw
Tidy toploader shifter fit, most I've seen look terrible.
Well done, very nice car

Thanks for your comments! Your vh looks tough!
Are those bw diffs in the vls all the same or did the strong ones only come out in the turbo and 5l models?

You need a VL Turbo (3.45:1) or VL 5 litre (3.08:1) diff as they are the ones with 28 spline axles. Normal 6 cylinder VL diffs are only 25 spline (junk).

While i agree with what has been said above about a 9" not being needed in most applications, if you want a diff that has an abundance of ratios available new and just about any type of diff centre you can possibly think of, then you can't go past a 9" IMO. You can buy absolutely everything for a 9" brand new these days and it's dirt cheap, the same can't be said for a Borg Warner.

Very very nice Sle. I am still looking for my old Sle. Maybe I will find her one day.
