    Probably a fair bit to get a sedan one in there, not that I'm an expert
    Is a wagon the same as the ute? Could try them too
    Otherwise ebay but not sure how many you'd find for the Ute

    1999 V6 Holden Commodore Series 3 VS Ute LSD Diff | eBay

    That is pretty reasonable although a shock mount is stuffed
    Also I did some reading and by the look of it Ute and Wagon non-IRS diffs are interchageable but don't quote me on that

    I wouldn't know (referring to postage maybe 50 bucks?), but a mini spool is probably the cheapest and easiest yet not so legal way

    If you cant find a lsd diff for your ute you could always just by a lsd from a sedan and dump the lsd unit into you diff housing so long as there both BW78's.

    good stuff bro, atleast you know for next time that you can take the lsd unit itself and throw it in a wagon ute or sedan. ;)

    Im using a diff from a wagon in my ute. Only difference is the wagon diff dosent have the bumpstops welded onto the diff. It makes the ride alot smoother tho if yours sits as low as mine

    compliance plate code is GU8 for LSD , and GU4 for open centre diff.. Mounting points ( shocks ) , Wagon and ute are the same , sedan is different.
