they dont get much to set up diffs, and if you were putting that money into it you would pay to let someone else set it up too.
I just did seals and bearings in mine, without touching the diff itself, and it was close to $400 in parts from mazda. Guy charged me $125 to set it up and it was worth every penny.

however I'll never have to worry about my rear again and the OS is FAR superior to other aftermarket diffs.

and before anyone goes "meh it's an NA" it's gets worse... it's going to have PISTONS
DIFF IS IN!
Took a bit longer than I thought... about 3 1/2 hours taking my time... I could probably do it in 2 hours. No real snags during the job I PB'ed everything a few days ahead of time and I certainly would NOT want to do it without an Impact gun.
The diff is noisy and I can certainly feel and hear whats going on out back more with the diff bushings.
I do hear a bit of a "white noise" from the rear when at speed and a bit of rumble under acceleration. I can also VERY distinctly hear the diff locking and unlocking when I'm on and off the throttle, it takes some getting used to. Drifts like a dream, very smooth engagement and predictable. Only issue is that I noticed one of the brand new diff seals is leaking a bit of fluid, I'm hoping that after a few miles and heat cycles it sures itself up. I'm going to drive it to work tomorrow then have a look.
I'll post install pics and a more detailed review when I get more miles on it...

yeah man when you get a chance snap a pic of the wheels up front and i am with you on the metal wide fronts , I cant stand theses zip tied fiberglass junks everyone is rolling on.
I had a set of fiberglass fender and i though they were absolute junk after i tried to make them work with oem body.
I will subscribe to the thread i want to see them wheels up front

you did break it in right? slow figure 8s for a few minutes.. than change the fluid after a few hundred miles.. When you change fluid, add an lsd addictive. With the nismo LSD i put in my old s13 it was like that, after a few changes + addictive, it went quiet. Looks good though, our cars arent exactly pretty underneath lmao. MMR has a few items I would like to pick up myself.

I have a extra rear subframe and trialing arms that are getting the full treatment... sandblasted, powder coated and a bunch of goodies, I was kinda in a rush to get the diff in for the season opener.
