I've had a Bara 240nm Diff with uprated Planet and Sun Gears and it pretty awesome to be fair.
Bara is a really nice bloke too.

what power were you running?

can't decide to spend Ł675 on a bara or a grand on the supra option....only going to be 400bhp tops so thinking save my money...

arhhh duno what to do, lol

think I've decide against the 6 degree now as I've already got two of the arm bushes new so only new to pay for two more, than another grand for that.

mine is around 500 ish.. i sent my bara one back a few times once as it whyned and again cos it leaked and both were ages after i brought it like 2-3 years and as it had done hardly any miles both times bara did it for free.. a friend i know had one and he managed to break the planet gears quite a while after buying it and bara replaced these for him free too.. so he does seem a nice genuine person to deal with.. i would have kept it but the gripper was just round the corner and never used so had to have it..

Never decide against a 6 degree beam mate they are awesome totaly transform the handling of the car.
I'd go with a Bara diff if you're only gonna run 400 bhp, but definatley go for the beam if you can afford it.
