ATB is nearer a grand from memory, not heard of them only being good upto 350hp though.

Gripper LSD is cheaper usually.

Contact Steveboyslim for either diff

Show me a broken one then I'll believe that.

IMO any diff with a diff with a diff pin...is going to break. Torsens have do diff pin, so IMO are massively stronger for that reason alone.

A friend put one on his Cossie about 12 years ago, and he abused the life out of it, diffing, donuts, racing etc. Never missed a beat. Couldnt say the same for the engine though lol

Depends on how you drive really.
I've done 2 standard diffs so far,
1 diff stripped the crown wheel from a launch
the other diff smashed the planet gears from too much donuting.

Current diff is doing alright but i've cut down on the abuse

Get the welder out pal i kicked the shit out my welded diff for 2 years and it was great,

theyre abit annoying when cornering at low speeds but the gripper diffs are just as bad at low speeds too.

Quaife diffs are good. Few of my friends have them with 500 horse and there fine. I have one and it's superb, I'd get a Quaife over a gripper greig as they make the car better to drive.
