Guess Im stuck with what I've got now, buyer beware
Question : Ive bought the replacement diff TKR5016B and bearings, are they stronger than stock ??

Hello,
The ET kits that are out there for sale right now all need the replacement shims, we have yet to receive our second batch of kits. That batch will have the correct shims with a non-problematic TKR5016B.
We will send you shims without a problem wherever you live, I think you must have misunderstood our email conversation. If you need the correct TKR5145 shims please contact us Via email (
[email protected]).
As for those that concerned about the out-drives being defective, we have looked into it with great detail and they are of the exact hardness as the EB, NB, and NT. We believe it is an isolated issue, and the wear is based on your driving habits combined with your running conditions and electronic's setup.
