Basically for the B4 series, the MIP rebuild kit is cheaper and has every little thing. I want to know if the B5 rebuild follows those lines or not.
Thanks for answering my silly question!
the rings and thrust are the same between the b4 and b5. But, I dont think MIP uses good balls. I am pretty sure they are just steel. I would get ceramic thrust balls and tungston carbide diff balls. Also, the B4 only had 12 balls vs the b5 14 calls in the diff.
