Rear diff swap?
Are the S4 and S5 diffs interchangable. I'm not talking about the housing just the internals.

This piece. I might be looking for a diff and I'm S4. Just wondering if I have to have a S4 diff or if a S5 will work.

As long as you stick to the same type (non turbo in a non turbo or Turbo in a Turbo), yes they are interchangeable.

and your bump has been deleted. Bumps are forbidden in the 2nd gen tech section.
