The LSD I'm using will be a Guard Transmission ZF Style. Its a cromoly housing so its strong. Its like the strongest on the market. It runs around $1700 for the 915. He really didn't say why the ZF syle was better. I'm still going back and forth with e-mails to him. Where did you find a ZF for a VW box. I know Kymco used to sell them, not sure if they still do. I don't think you'll have any handling problems with the 901 or 915 install. I'm still researching my 915 install. Should have it done in a month or so. I want custom gearing but can't afford it right now so I'll run a stock ratio 3:88 915 for now.

I've always wondered about gear ratios... How come the 911 use r&p with 7.something and 8.something? Shouldn't they be like 3.88, or 4.125 or 4.375 or similar like in a Bug? Are the gear ratios different altogether?

Woohoo... You are spending a LOT on your tranny! Impressive!

Met someone selling ZFs for the VW box. Just got to emailing him. Details as I know more....

What's your ride anyway?

Sprint.
