rear diff replacement

Its time to replace my rear diff as my original failed spectacularly(lots of little metal bits everywhere)! I have been looking at the kaaz 1.5 way torsen and the cuzco 1.5 or 2 way. Anyone have any experience with either or something better? How difficult to install? almost bolt on? My ring and pinion are both still in great shape. It is for a s5 na and I prefer to go new rather than a t2 swap

Thanks

might as well get a t2 diff swap and rebuild it for the price. use the rest of money for diff/tranny and engine mounts. poly mounts make a HUGE difference in acceleration

I have a few friends who are in the professional racing circuit and have been since before they could even get a license. They all swear by Cusco. From what I understand these things are bulletproof and a half, and most don't even require a rebuild after a severely hard season of racing. When I posed the same question to my buddy who has 17 years of professional racing experience he pointed me towards Cusco. Further more, every review I have read online for Cusco LSD's are insanely positive. Although steep I am extremely confident you will not do better or be disappointed.

Now as payment for my advice you can post pictures of the cusco LSD when you get it and install it
