I've got a 3.9 Bara 240nM in my 3 Door at the moment and I think it great and it takes some serious hard launches.
Having said that it will be changed for the Supra one soon as I get a free weekend to fit it.

Dose the bora diff still use two planet gears and two sun gears if so it still has the same weakness the standard one dose. So if its quiet and same as standard you are after has to be the quaife really
I just don't like the idea of the bora diff as the weakness of the standard one other than it being 7.5 inches is the fact it only has two planet gears and two sun gears. So lots of torque puts a lot of strain on them and brakes them the bora diff is still the same set up
Supra diff is the only way forward really and mat as you gone to the expense of doing a 6degree beam you may as well go the whole hog with rose joints and mk supra kit! Or theres the jag diff

Nah not bothered over one mate ... I'm not running big power only want something that going to do its job and be quiet
James the bara uprated used a stronger set of gears in there aswell, and if mat hasn't broken the standard one yet he shouldn't break the uprated gears.
I had bara diff with 475 lb/ft torque. Didnt break mine. Although i was never a hardcore launcher but did have 888 tyres so lots of grip to be transferred through the diff. Good as gold
Excuse my ignorance guys but what is the difference between sierra diff and mustang diff as mustangs run big torque being big na engines and i've never heard of them having problems with diffs?
The Bara diff does have forged planet and sun gears so is stronger than a 25 year old knackered one!
Here's me giving it a launch with 235 888's fitted and 531 ft/lb of torque it's been getting this kind of abuse for over year now.
i think the above reply is all thats needed for this thread, bara will be cheapest aswell and sonic boom has prooved it takes the abuse and on r888s aswell.
ive had a gripper and it did the job but it was a cluncky twat
somewhere in my workshop i have 4 sets of smashed planet gears lol
