Stu Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If this is to go in a later IB5 box be aware there are two types of RST LSD and only one will fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S1 and S2 LSD's have a differnet bolt pattern on the crown wheel. Logic would make you think the S2 one is likely to be the right one as it's the predecessor to the IB5, but you never know!

Stu Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 A quaife ATB (Torsen) diff is not an 'upgrade' from an RST viscous one. It's just a different type of diff. You choose a differential based on application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
