I asked at my local club and a few guys reckon the top one will fit with a bit of spacing and their quality control seems a lot better.
Are you by any chance running the 3Racing speed gear set as well? Because the 3Racing counter gear in that set is an appalling moulding and shouldn't be let any where near the car. The diff is one of their better quality parts, apart from the badly-sized o-rings which need serious breaking in.

Would be interesting to hear some feedback on the Spec-R diff.
