[s-cars] RE: Interested in purchasing a rear diff

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Simply put:  The Torsen diff sends power to the wheel(s) that have traction
as opposed to the open diff that sends power to the wheel(s) that are
slipping.  $300 is a more than fair price for the upgrade in cornering (or
Pauliepower sliding) handling IMHO.

I know this has been rehashed several times BUTTTT

What exactly do you gain by changing the diff?

I have two 93 S4's and would love to know how the car would change/improve
with a different diff.

Double The S4 fun quadruple the cost? ;-)
