sorry for my ignorance

A better question is, "Can it be used in the front?" I don't know, but I'm sure someone out there has an answer. I'm hoping that it can be used up front.

Only problem is stock levels, as soon as anyone gets stock, they seem to sell out within a couple of days, and we are suddenly competing with the Yoko guys now, as someone found it fits so now they are draining the stock as well.

Give it a little longer and I suspect we won't be short on choice, from my lurking around we have our own, SpecR is due out real soon, 3Racing is also making one, and even Yoko have their own coming out.

we have just received more stock of the diffs, the first batch sold out very quickly,

I have already sold a few diffs to BD5 owners.

The answer is........YES, it can be used in the front. Thanks to the Wease for testing today at Timezone.

I believe he said he ran the car with 70K SAE front and 30K SAE rear.

Had ago today with the gear diffs fitted in the front and rear in 17.5t and is is really not working. Don't buy any of it. Don't believe the hype. Its a waste of money. Specially the guys in Sydney that will be running the 3rd round club challenge next month. Please don't bother

Just wait after the event. LOL!!!!
