As above is it worth it .does the supra diff lock up as good as the gripper. The gripper diff is great when hooning about but normal driving I hate it jumpy nocking banging etc people saying 'I think ya diff fucked mate' lol
So is it worth the change

I want answers also.. Because I don't want a supra diff but want something nice that's not notchy etc... I've gr people telling me quaife are shit and people telling me there great so what's is the best diff for me..?
I guess it depends how you drive! A supra diff will not brake if your into dumping the clutch every other time you leave the lights lol the problem with a quaife is you can lose drive if one wheel loses grip or contact with the road. Grippers are strong diffs and lock both wheels very well but are a bit clunky but its never really worried me with mine! But the biggest problem with 7.5 inch diffs is you can brake the crown wheel and pinion if you abuse them mine is super finished and shot peened and has lasted well with around 500lb ft but I did bust a standard cwp leaving a roundabout in second lol
The gripper and quaife sorts the biggest problem and that's the supper week standard planet and sun gears the up rated standard diffs still have them so I wouldn't bother if you have any torque!

Buts there's still only 2 planets un like 4 in the gripper it's a week point! But i guess it all depends how you drive so if you look after it it will be fine I guess
