anything you want

3.25 is probably the closest to stock for the S52. But a 3.73 is hella fun.

does it matter?

LSD is better for grip out of courners but...

Windsor you couldnt get over 60 in fifth?? I ran the 4.10 diff for a few weeks and I was able to get over 100 with it....not very far over 100 though! lol @ 60 in fifth it just screeeaaaammmed.

I now have a Z3 M roadster diff. 3.23. Very happy now :)

[shopkeep]

oh wait, you probably aren't running the M3 tranny are you Windsor?
