Is your car equipped with ACD? I personally chose to have T.R.E. rebuild and upgrade mine along with the addition of a Wavetrac unit. You can research Quaife vs Wavetrac if you wanna get into the technical stuff. What do you plan on doing with the car?

Just a daily driver. Also off subject but my steering feels sloppy, a new oem rack and pinion is over 1k. Whats your thought on a rebuilt one?

Center or front diff? Huge difference... I would guess the other guy meant his front since he tossed the bits in about wavetrac. If you have acd you can't upgrade your center. Only the RS can. I mean without a huge swap. And the duffs won't help steering IMO. What you aught to look at is rack bushings, tie rod ends, and basically anything white line sells... That will stiffen the steering up. My car handles amazingly well...

For the record the center differential, the one that splits power front to rear is inside the transmission. Any changes to it will destroy your acd. The front diff which splits power to the front left/right wheels is inside the transfer case ironically. Anyway I'm going to unsub. If you have question pm me
