S1 vs S2 LSD
Whats the difference between the two and what sort of torque/power can they take if the rest of the box has been upgraded (bearings/baulk rings etc.)

the main difference is the s2 lsd is less harsh, it had a improved softer lock up action

S2's have a better LSD and yup it has 8 bolts(handy as an aid to distinguish between it and an S1 diff)

Boxes will go on, its because of the ARB that is why they won't fit, You'll need an S1 ARB to fit an S1 box into an S2.

an S1 box will go straight into an S2 beacuse the box cradle bolts around the casing! but it doesnt work the other way around because the S1 has a front casing mount the S2 box doesnt have!
