I found out the hard way these last 2 weekends racing that the Mugen diff gaskets are not the answer... I've had to replace about 4 sets of spider gears because of them.

Like has been stated.. Just sand the diff cups till all the shiny spots are gone on the face of the cup, and use a stock AE gasket.
+1 Ive seen these first hand with a few of our local racers they tried both doubling up on ae gaskets or one mugen, its thicker in material bringing the spider gear out not much contact surface with gears and ends up stripping eventually just enough play to ruin em. I had good luck with my diffs so far no leaks sanding em evenly with stock gaskets.
