Default ib5 with rs diff question

Ive got an ib5 gearbox out of an escort gti(rear facing starter)
Also got my rs turbo box that whines like a goodun. i want to put the diff in the ib5 box with new bearings as its an lsd one. Do I just buy new bearings and the get a mate to plonk it in with new seals?

Where can I get bearings from besides burton power or do they do the best ones?

Also on ebay its got rebuild kits with std or uprated bearings, is this bull or can you buy just the uprated diff bearings from somewhere.

Also before I go ahead with this will the rs diff fit straight in?

Any help would be apperciated

IB5 will take your diff no problems.

Until very recently, I ran an RST Diff'd IB5 in mine. Starter on the front though.
