Stock LSD any good?
 
we didn't get the LSD on our UK rx7's is it a good upgrade? i.e. is it worth importing one from the US or should i just find something in the UK that may be better?

thanks

They are a clutch type and lock up nicely. I'm happy with them in my cars, I'm glad I swapped them in. The GSL diffs are better than teh GSL-SE diffs so if you are going to go through the trouble of shipping it over there you should look for a GSL...
Did Miata's have LSD over in the UK because the early miata diffs will swap in assuming you have the 84/85 large axle housing...

yeah they are good diffs but good luck finding a gsl diff with the smaller axle housing.

the carrier from an FC will NOT fit an FB.

I was under the impression that the non turbo FC diffs are interchangable with the 84/85 FB housing. They are both 7"

I posted this link in your other thread but I'll post it here too, its a miata site, but according to the article the 84-88 NA diffs are all basically the same and you can interchange them....
