its a very easy job to change the hosuing and the benefits are pretty much the same.
now stop banging your head
Then there is the hassle of having your old BC housing machined out to take the IB5 bearings, which unless you are a machine shop you cannot do yourself, and doing that looses 75% of the benifits of the box... Stronger casing so less flex (why do you think CTS uses IB5 casing 99% of the time?!), and the Hydraulic clutch!
So I'll contiue banging my head lol

The gearing is almost identical to an XR3i, so nice close gears
I've got a brand new racing puma LSD to drop in, but you can fit a RST one if you wanted yes.

Basically what I will have is a CTS Stage 2 box for £350 instead of £1200, and with a hydraulic clutch
