Not really, OSG is perfect for both. It's not annoying and clanky, and chattery like other clutch types.

No break in, install and drive. That's what OSG said when I installed mine.

Oh i know, but idk OP's budget, and usually when questions like this come up and the person talks about tracking, they usually never do and the extra cost usually isnt warranted because they will never use it.

If you're buying a diff you're tracking the car, so you might as well buy the best.

That is about what I paid. Then ring gear bolts, bearings , seals and $175 at Dans Driveline to get it set up. Also, I have a spare 3rd member for Vegas folk , have my spare built, install it and I take your old unit.

I believe mine was $1700 shipped for a full drop in, etc with fluids. then I paid another $375 to get it all installed. So much money, so worth it. lol.

Just a spare full 3.5 open pumpkin. When i get a friend/customer that wants to do a diff build i get my spare built then install it in their car. Once completed, i take their old 3rd member. Keeps down time on peoples cars to about 3 hours.
