Differential...

Alright, I am changing my clutch to an ACT street/strip clutch, and I learned last winter that my Posi wasn't really working... Since I am going to be replacing the LSD now, should I just get a used one from somebody here/ebay or should I get a new aftermarket unit from rx7.com or something? Basically, how solid is the stock diff? Mods are in my sig.

I think the best options are one of the following:

1) Buy a used low milage FD torsen LSD. They are pretty good, handle a decent amount of power (how much HP are you planning putting down?) and have a fast lockup, and are quiet.

2) Rebuild your stock LSD. Mazdatrix sells rebuild kits for the stock clutch LSD, and you can even rebuild it with higher performance discs.

Or you could go spending an insane amount of money on an aftermarket LSD (KAAZ maybe?) but I dont think its worth it for a street car. The stock T2 diff can handle a good amount of power. Ive seen people running deep in the 11s using the stock rear end, with no problems.

How hard is it to rebuild a diff?
