NOTE: All differentials were available in LSD. However in most markets this was an option so lots of cars do not have a LSD.

So, I have a high crown 3.55 ratio, 28 spline 6 bolt axle carrier to work with.
as far as 8" carrier units go this is one of Mitsu's strongest.

More to follow as time permits.
