So I've been S52 swapped now for a couple years with the accompanying ZF 5-speed trans and 3.46 LSD diff. I love the gearing for the street, as I get to row through the gears and have some good fun, but cannot stand the ~4k rpm freeway cruising at 80mph. I've been thinking about going 6-speed to add that cruising gear in there, but it's a good chunk of change and work to make that happen. The other option at my disposal is to drop to a 2.93 diff to bring the cruising gear into the same realm of rpm. The issue here, of course, being that the rest of my gears would be taller as well. Curious if anyone out there with S52, ZF, and 2.93 can provide insight into how they like this setup?
There's actually a guy here locally selling a 2.93 LSD as well, but with E30 taxes sky high he's asking $525. These things used to have a hard time commanding much more than $200, so I'm a little wary of spending that much just for an experiment.
Let me know what you all think!
