hi there we fitted a capri 2.8i special axle to the mk 2 we are building as its a cheap way of getting a lsd good for atleast 250 - 300 bhp and if you are arching the motor it gives it a wider track

 

Atlas IMO as said above - form a 2.8i capri - comes with a slipper and good n strong. you'll need to get it shortened if you want to use standard arches though.
