What do you want to do with the car it'll be fitted to, what power will be going through the diff, these are all important factors which could make one more suitable than another.

John,

I would say ZOO beam for a track based car - after much consideration, and looking at rally spec tarmac beams, round beams, square beams, so-called Group A beams etc........... I eventually went for the ZOO one.

You'll find the lads there are quite objective, and if it's no good for your application, they wont try and sell you anything..........

what do you call a big diff?
if going 9" then get a proper wide track square beam with mag arms etc.that way you get proper drive shafts and not just road ones.
thats what i use and mines as group A as you can get.
