Loads to choose from depends how much you've got to spend:
Supra Diff
7.5" Bara 240nm with forged planet and sun gears
7.5" Gripper
7.5" Quaife ATB
7.5" Titan
8.8" Ford
Jag 10.5"
9" Motorsport

Personally after a chat with Craig at Dyno Torque I quite fancy a Viper SRT10 Diff.

I've a gripper in mine it's a good diff but the crown wheel and pinion is the week point! But I don't keep doing hard launches! A mate of mine who dose drive like a twat busted his quaife 4 times and now has a supra diff that seems up to the job

dont waste Ł1000 on a gripper or a quaife, the supra diffs are unbelievably strong, they will stand up to over 700 whp no problem launch as much as you like, fit and forget speak to tony thats what i would do without any hesitation.

So what's the score with the supra set up then, is it 1k for the full package plug and play sort of idea no other hidden costs?

I was quoted for a beam and flanges but you had to have the diff supplied and it came in at nearer Ł2k I think it was, if you can get a standard beam modded to suit I don't know, seems a good kit though

no mods are needed to the beam to fit a supra diff.

Tony, how much am I looking at for a Supra diff with every thing to make it fit? Also, how tight is the lsd? I've used plated and the current ATB, I like the feel of the ATB tbh, quite progressive, no hidden surprises....
