I have a Kaaz 1.5 way super Q with 3.9 gears. I personally love my setup but would advise going 4.08s vs the 3.9s. Since you want a diff for drifting I would advise a clutch type vs the Quaife.

clutch diffs are good, but require more maintenance (i.e. fluid changes), as i stated before since he dailies his car i wouldn't do gears... but that is just me
