I'd like to make sure before I blow $450. Yeah, I know you got to take the internals out and put it into an RX-7 diff. I'm asking if that'll work with this diff. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry, second question. Is an LSD a good idea on a daily driver? My goal with handling upgrades is first for safety and second for fun. If an LSD would, say, get me in trouble in the rain then that'd be a problem. Sure, dry grip is an issue too, but it's usually easier to predict my limits on dry pavement.

LSD Is perfect for daily driving, Welded diff is the one you have to w orry about in the rain. About it fitting im not sure.

I up this aswell, LSD=great traction, easier to powerover in the rain though, so becarful of that.

I would honestly check the junkyard for an fc lsd instead of spending 450 to get one that you need to modify by pulling the internals and hoping they fit.

an LSD is GREAT for a daily, if you ever drive your car in snow, then you will thank god for LSD. Driving an open diff FR on slippery roads is hell and you actually have less grip.

I was shooting for a torsen LSD so it lasts and I hear they're more predictable. Is an FD torsen also an option?
