I've just bought a new toy (will start a project thread with some pics later) it apperently has an rs500 LSD on, I know its LSD as both wheels turn together when it's jacked up, but is there any difference between an rs500 item and the regular cosworth equivalent? Also is supposed to have 500 rear brakes too.

Regards matt

I too don't think there is any difference, there are 23 under bonnet changes and I seem to remember some suspension difference perhaps?

Brakes and diff are the same as any 2wd Cossie.
