Trying to decide on either Kazz LSD or cobra rear end for winter project. Need $0.02

Now that i have put drag radials on my LSX powered FD the weakest component in the drive line is my (93) Diff. My winter project for this year is going to be either:

1. Installing a Kazz LSD along with RX7.com's Traction Kit

-or-

2. Trying to figure out how to go about installing a Cobra diff


My first option is fairly straight forward and i plan on spending ~$1400 on that set up.
The second option is not so clear and i could use some clarification on some aspects of the swap (yes i have searched). First off who all sells the cobra diff brace for my 93? I know jim lab and Samberg both do but are there any more sellers? Is one recommended over the other? Also ive read about 10 different prices for each aspect of the swap. $700-1500 for the cradle, $250-750 for axles, then i need custom brackets since ive got a 93. Can anyone give me a better ideal on what im really going to spend going this rout (as its a big determining factor on which rout im going with)? And my last question is what all is involved in the swap other then getting the custom cradle, getting my rx7 outer shafts mated to cobra shafts, and getting a custom drive shaft?

Thanks in advance for any info

Why not get a T2 diff? They're pretty stout and would be an easier (much)cheaper alternative.

Doesn't this involve pulling the guts out of the TII rear end and putting them into the FD rear end? I think ive read something about this awhile back but dont remember the specifics. How much stronger is the TII rear over the FD? And how hard is the swap?

Holy bump (for an ambiguous question) Batman!!!

What kind of brace are you referring to? Do you mean a Differential Brace? If so Banzai Racing sells them here: http://banzai-racing.com/store/page30.html
