the silicone has the same results, the only factor giving different diff resistence (for example) is diff case capacity. But, when i build a diff for the 733 of a friend with older
serpent silicone 80.000 (with the orange sticker), and later build my diff with the new 80.000 silicone came with the kit, my diff felt like 30.000 compared with older silicones.
i wonder why there is so much variation among different brands...Maybe there isnt a
consistent way of measuring cst?
I guess Dj is right, you have to stick with the same brand otherwise you ll get lost.. And
when setups are posted over the internet, its good the authors to write also which brand
they used (this goes to you DJ as yours setups are read and used by alot of people
).

i always had the same opinion, i was saying myself, if the rating is the same
the silicone has the same results, the only factor giving different diff resistence (for example) is diff case capacity. But, when i build a diff for the 733 of a friend with older
serpent silicone 80.000 (with the orange sticker), and later build my diff with the new 80.000 silicone came with the kit, my diff felt like 30.000 compared with older silicones.

I have run the diff and Solid. I like the solid for tracks with a lot of bite or if the track is giving a little bit of over steer. I use the diff for all other applications. With the diff in the front I have been running the stock oils.
150k front and 70k rear. With the solid it has been 70k in the rear.

When you change from front diff to locker do you do any other setup changes like springs or roll centers ?

Not to start with. Since I use it if I feel I have an over steer at the apex and want to combat that feeling. I have only did it once at a track that had a lot of front bite for some reason.
