I have the BD7 2015 Black Edition. I want to go to 2.5 rear toe. I know I need to change my rear/rear suspension mount and i have found the part on Amain but it is of the blue variety. Does any one know if/where they sell the same part in black?

I ran the car yesterday for a few packs with a brand new prev-gen diff, filled with 5K... after 8 packs, no leaks. The first few laps were definitely a handful, probably as it took a few efforts for all the internals to set in. But zero leak either on pulley or the outdrives side. I had soaked the paper gasket in moly grease, and sanded the diff half so it was perfectly flat. Looks like it paid off

Will a 14 front gear diff fit a 15
Or does the 15 need two of its own?

Diffs are interchangeable between all versions of the BD7 and the BD5.

FYI, I have a set of BD7 short shocks I am trying to sell:

The included shock towers are for the BD7 2014, but the shocks would also work just fine on a BD7 2015 with the appropriate shock towers.

the 14 diff drops right in the 15 rear bulkheads... don't see why the front would be any different...
