Default Supra Diff Weight
So, how much does a Supra diff weigh as if I get one and need to let courier know what they are dealing with? Is it the same as a Cossie 7 1/2?

Yeah lol if I remember rightly it's something like 25kg heavier than a std 2wd unit as tony was trying to sell me one and I thought I would have to put harder springs on the rear to take the weight pmsl

Its making me think twice now but better to lug a bit of weight about that almost ensures you will finish / get home. Cost compared to a Gripper etc
is a big bonus too.
